Are you asking on how to have a different background, or wallpaper for each new tab, or just the same image for every tab?
I do not know of any way to give a different image for each individual tab or window, but there is a way to change so all tabs show a selected image.

It involves creating a CSS file that Firefox will load on startup, and adding, or changing, certain entries in your profile and in the config.

You can get the details in this outside article on the superuser website:
