This seem to be the file we need to change. I added a new tool update-iceweasel-homepage in debian-edu-config svn, diverting this file to /etc/iceweasel/browserconfig.properties and adding the homepage URL there, and cfengine rules to configure it during installation.

They only take effect the first time firefox is started (or after an upgrade), while I want to change the default every time firefox start. > Perhaps is the DHCP Option 'option www-server 10.0.2.2;' usable for > that. Yes, thought it should really be an URL and not only a server address. Schools are going to want to specify full URLs to the school home page, and not all schools want to point to a toplevel page. > A dhcp client will fetch it, if you add it in the servers and the > clients config so that it will show up in the leases file.

The documentation I find specify that the www-server DHCP option need to be a host IP/name, and not an URL.
