Long way:
You can compare the two configs if you copy /etc/firestarter/ from your
desktop to your laptop and then do:

diff -qr path/to/etc/firestarter_from_working_pc /etc/firestarter/

I suppose some wrong setting there.

Then go on with the following:


Short way:
$ sudo aptitude purge firestarter
$ sudo aptitude install firestarter
