Default Open Homepage on Startup

I’m running XP w/SP3 and FF3.0.3

I want my homepage to automatically open every time I start up. When I go
to run-msconfig-start up, mozilla FF is checked. How do I get the homepage
to auto open?

Thanks

Does Firefox open to the right page when you start it manually?

The problem is probably that Firefox is trying to start before the net
connections are available. Try starting Firefox from your startup
folder instead of the registry run keys.

Yes, it does open to the correct page when I start it manually.

Can you tell me how I get it to start from my startup folder vs. the registry?

Just put a shortcut to in in the your Startup folder.

(Start Menu/Programs/Startup)
