have downloaded firefox and gone through account setup and now when I try to open it directs me to fire.com
as in the question it takes me to www.fire.com
Chosen solution
This sounds like an issue with the HomePage setting. Are you opening Firefox directly or using a shortcut?
Type about:preferences#general<enter> in the address bar.
There are two settings;
- When Firefox Starts
When the browser is started, what do you want to display? Many of us choose Show My Home Page.
- Home Page
When a new page is opened, what do you want to be displayed?
- Use Current Page. Use what ever page(s) are open at that time.
- Use Bookmark
- Restore To Default. about:home shows a Mozilla home page with tools.
You can use any of these that you wish;
about:home (Firefox default home page), about:newtab (shows the sites most visited), about:blank (a blank page),
or you can enter any webpage or about: page you want.

Note: With the newer Firefox versions, it's about:preferences#home
