In the current release of Firefox for Android in order to return to the homepage you must close Firefox completely (in android 4.0 and above swipe it away in the app switcher). But in a newer release you will soon be able to swipe the last page you were on to close that page and return to your homepage. Another quick solution would be to type in about:home in your address bar.
