When starting Iceweasel in Debian Linux, I have to manually add a proxy in the network tab options. Is there a way to do it with the command line?

Also, I would like to start Iceweasel on a specific home page.

I don't know how to add the proxy via terminal but you can open specific url using Terminal

 firefox [option]
 -browser           Open a browser window.
 -new-window  <url> Open <url> in a new window.
 -new-tab     <url> Open <url> in a new tab.
 -private-window <url> Open <url> in a new private window.

example:

firefox www.stackoverflow.com  
firefox -new-window www.hackaholic.info
firefox -new-tab www.stackoverflow.com
