Nope. As I understand it, Firestarter isn't itself a firewall. It's an
admin console for the built in firewall, iptables. So making changes
in Firestarter makes changes to your iptables configuration, and
iptables *does* start up when your machine starts.

I might turn out to be wrong about this. The Firestarter people don't
make it very clear...
