You have to modify the "startup" page from the Debian defaults.

Under "Edit" --> "Preferences" --> "Navigator" select "Home page" as the 
startup display, then type in  your favorite URL under the "Home Page" 
section in the middle.  If you go to the "favorite" or startup page in 
Mozilla before you do the above you can simply select the option "Use 
Current Page".

Once you do this Mozilla should startup in your "home" page selected 
above.  This has always worked for me here....
