How to have 3 separate tabs at startup but just one tab when I click HOME icon in Firefox browser bar?
Here's all I want. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. When I start Mozilla Firefox I want it to open with three tabs... ❶ https://www.goese.com/favorites/index.html ❷ https://www.goese.com/reference/unicode.html ❸ https://messages.google.com/web/conversations
From then on, when I click on the home button, I only want the tab/page I'm viewing to switch to this page... https://www.goese.com/favorites/index.html ⬤ https://www.goese.com/favorites/index.html
Is Firefox capable of doing this? (Chrome is, but got WAY too slow recently...to a point I couldn't take it anymore.) Right now if I use those three pages for startup, the home button opens a new session in all three pages, which makes no sense to me. I need to be able to specify different & separate pages for "startup" and "home." I'm old so I'm probably just looking at the interface wrong.
Thanks!

Firefox will always open all pages set as your homepages if you click the Home button or open a new window.
If you want different pages at startup then you can add these URLs to the target line of the Firefox desktop shortcut.
-url URL Open URL in a new tab or window, depend on the browser option. -url can be omitted. You may list multiple URLs, separated by spaces.اس جواب کو سیاق و سباق میں پڑھیں 👍 1

Thank you so much, cor-el! That did the trick. I've marked your reply as having "Solved the problem," but in case any Firefox developers are reading this:
I really believe the Firefox user should be offered separate "On Startup" and "Home Page" options under "Options" (from the hamburger ☰ menu in the upper-right corner) to make this customization task "user-friendly" enough to pass what we used to call the "grandparent rule" when I worked in product development. (I'm now one of those fumbling grandparents, but being a former engineer has left me with some residual techie skills.)
The answer provided here helped me remember how to directly modify the Windows 10 taskbar shortcut (a Windows task—not a Firefox-specific process—that I needed to complete since I always start Firefox from my taskbar and not the desktop): https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1086113
I'm loving my FASTER Firefox experience.
