I am running a small client server network with about 27 client machines and windows server 2003 is the server OS. I want the default webpage on firefox to display our department homepage when users log on. I have set IE7 already in the groups policy in the ISS section but this only affects IE7. Any idea how I can do this with Firefox?

You can set or lock default prefs via a mozilla.cfg file.

Pref: browser.startup.homepage , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.startup.homepage 

defaultPref();  // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes
lockPref();  // lock pref, disallow changes

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
