Basically just edit this file...
sudo nano /etc/firefox/pref/firefox.js

and add this...
user_pref("browser.startup.homepage", "http://www.mydomain.com");

If users on the system have already opened firefox and the ~/.mozilla/firefox/<random>.default/prefs.js file is already present then you will probably have to remove the profiles or somehow figure out how to put something in /etc/profile that will parse the prefs.js file it is exists and change the home page on logon.

I have some other notes about this here...
