In the Tools Menu select Options to open the Options dialog. In the options dialog select the General panel and change the setting "When Firefox starts:" to "Show my home page".

If you want to have the Save & Quit dialog back then you can reset the warn prefs on the about:config page via the right-click context menu. 

browser.tabs.warnOnClose , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/About%3Aconfig_entries
browser.warnOnQuit , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.warnOnQuit
browser.warnOnRestart , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.warnOnRestart


To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.
