We have previously written about opening multiple pages on multiple tabs at once when starting Firefox (see our post, Open Multiple Pages when Starting Firefox). That procedure involves manually adding pages to your list of home pages, every time you want to add a page to the collection of pages that open when you start Firefox.
There is another method for doing this if you often change the pages you want to open when you start Firefox. You can add the pages you want to open when you start Firefox to a Bookmark folder and tell Firefox to open all the sites listed in that Bookmark folder when it starts.
To do this, select Options from the Tools menu.
On the Options dialog box, make sure the General screen is active. If not, click the General button at the top of the dialog box. Click the Use Bookmark button below the Home Page edit box.
The Set Home Page dialog box displays, listing all your bookmarks on the Bookmarks Menu, the Bookmarks Toolbar, and also the Unsorted Bookmarks.
We selected a Bookmark folder on our Bookmarks Toolbar by clicking the plus sign next to Bookmarks Toolbar to expand it, and then selecting a folder in the list. Click OK.
To open the sites from the selected Bookmark folder you just added to the Home Page edit box, you must tell Firefox to open your home page when it opens. To do this, select Show my home page from When Firefox starts drop-down list.
To close the Options dialog box, click OK.
The next time you open Firefox, all the web pages from the Bookmark folder you selected open on separate tabs.
When you add or remove web pages to or from the Bookmark folder you selected as your home page, simply open the Options dialog box again, click the Use Bookmark button, and select that Bookmark folder again. The new set of web pages from the Bookmark folder become your new set of home pages when Firefox opens.
