This is the only issue here (see below for a discussion of how
firestarter.sh is supposed to work), but AFAICT it is a fault on your
side in not invoking properly GNOME applications which require root
privileges.
For instance, you cannot simply do "su" in a user terminal and then try
to start firestarter, that does not work. On the contrary, if you run
firestarter via a GNOME proper command such as gksu, it works as
expected. Try for instance "gksu firestarter", which works here. That
is why I'm lowering the severity of this bug report and marking it as
unreproducible

That is expected. Firestarter does not start at boot without that file,
because (as in all firewalls) there is no reasonable default. *But* the
first time you run the GUI and you go through the process, you will get
an automatically created /etc/firestarter/firestarter.sh which will be
executed at next boot (and, more generally, when the firestarter service
is acted upon).
If you can confirm it works for you too, after using the above approach,
please close this bug.
Cheers.
PS I'm not the firestarter package maintainer
