Have you tried to set some configurations/preferences in firestarter GUI?
There's something like:
Start/restart on program startup
Start/restart on dialout
Start/restart on DHCP lease renewal

I have never tried those yet, perhaps it suits your need for automatically
start the firewall when there the network connection is up.

Another idea perhaps you can do some modification directly in
/etc/network/if-up.d , so you could start the firewall when you bring-up the
network connection.
