Remove the original firestarter line from /etc/ppp/ip-up.local and add
the following line to /etc/ppp/ip-up.local:
/etc/firestarter/firestarter.sh start
And the following line to /etc/ppp/ip-down.local:
/etc/firestarter/firestarter.sh stop
Also disable firestarter as a service (chkconfig firestarter off) and
take a look in /etc/ppp/ip-up.local for broken code.
Is /etc/ppp/ip-up.local executable in a bash console?

Cause ip changes on every dial-in for internet connections without a
static ip.

This is an option in firestarter configuration since 2005. See for more
in firestarter Changelog:
2005-01-09 Tomas Junnonen <tomas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
[...]
* src/scriptwriter.c:
- Set execute permissions on ip-up.local
[...]
And in scriptwriter.c:
#define PPP_HOOK_FILE "/etc/ppp/ip-up.local"
const gchar* FIRESTARTER_HOOK = "sh "FIRESTARTER_CONTROL_SCRIPT"
start\n";
