I'm guessing that you're wanting to know how to arrange for your search engine to come up whenever Firefox starts. Just bring up your search engine of choice and set that to be your home page, as explained at:

Judging from your question, you may also want to know about starting Firefox from your system taskbar. That depends on which operating system you use. In most Windows systems, just drag the Firefox icon from the desktop to the Quick Launch bar (part of the Windows taskbar) on the lower left.
