If you don't want it loaded (though I have it and there are no problems) just blacklist it in a file (ex. 00local.conf) under /etc/modprobe.d/ with blacklist ipv6 > the other was an iptables entry.

I don't think it's a good idea to mix firewall frontends with custom rules in some script. Pick one and stick to it. If firestarter can't do what you need (or don't know how to configure it) just ask for help, there are many others (personally I prefer shorewall, it's quite easy to setup and very powerful).
