Ed,

It looks like your home page is set to start.firefox.org

Try resetting your homepage (Tools|Options|General) close down FF and reopen..

If that doesn't work open up the prefs.js file in your Firefox profile
(on Win2K mine is at:
C:\Documents and Settings\<USERNAME>\Application
Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<RANDOM_LETTERS_&_NUMBERS>.default\prefs.js)
in a text editor (notepad should work)

Search for start.firefox.org. If you find it, replace it with a valid
URL and resave the file. Now try and open FF and see if that helps.
