Firefox used to open on boot. It now does not open properly because the wifi takes a little time to connect, although it used to. What can I do?

For a long time I have had Firefox in my start-up folder so that Firefox always started when I boot. That used to be fine. Recently Firefox has tried to start before the wifi has connected fully so that "Problem loading page" pops on my tabs. So I have to close Firefox and then restart it. I am not aware of having changed anything that can have caused this. What can I do to make sure the wifi is fully connected before Firefox opens?

I don't think there is any setting in Firefox for this. There might be a way to set this up in Windows using the task scheduler or another feature. Or you might need some other software.
