How can I set up multiple tabs to come on at Start-Up, the way that Internet Explorer and Chrome allows one to do?

It appears that Firefox might not have that feature. It's an important feature to me, and I hope I do not have to go back to IE or Chrome to get that Start-Up option. Can anyone tell me if I can set up a variety of tabs with my most-used URLs to open at Start Up?

Firefox can start multiple home pages; they are separated by the "|" keyboard character. The easiest way to set up multiple home pages is to start with no tabs open, then open only the tabs that you want as home pages, then click:

  • click Firefox button > Options > Options > General > Use Current Pages
  • using the Menu Bar: click Tools > Options > General > Use Current Pages

Be sure on the Options > General tab that

  • "When Firefox starts:" is set to "Show my home page"
