Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Mozilla\Firefox\Home page User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Mozilla\Firefox\Home page Description
If this policy is enabled, you can change what is displayed when Firefox starts. It can be the homepage, the previous session, or a blank page. If this policy is disabled or not configured, the start page defaults to the previous session.

BETAConfigure the state, scope and options, then generate .reg, PowerShell, Intune and SCCM outputs — or add the setting to a multi-setting collection.
These exports write the registry — this is not a managed GPO. ⓘ
Applying both scopes creates an ambiguous configuration (computer takes precedence over user). Only do this intentionally.
