in firefox, go to Options, General, and paste in the URL for the home 
page, OK...

or, look in $HOME/.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini and find the Path= in 
the default profile, and go to that directory, prefs.js, and look for 
the line ...   add your URL there.

user_pref("browser.startup.homepage", "<SOMEURLHERE>");
