Ok. I start up firefox, and it says page cannot be reached. After that everything works normal. I can connect to all pages with no problem, its just when I start it up the first time. Tried to uninstall and reinstall, didnt work.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems and Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems

If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

What is the startup setting: Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts" ?

Did you check the target line in the desktop shortcut ?
