Question: How do I set multiple home pages in firefox? i.e I would like to open more than one website automatically when the firefox starts.
Answer: Please follow the steps mentioned below to open multiple tabs in Firefox during startup.
Step 1: Go to Firefox Options Window
Go to: Tools menu -> Option menu-item -> Main Tab.
Step 2: Set two websites in Home Page Field – delimited by |
- Set the ‘When the firefox starts’ drop-down to ‘Show my home page’
- Enter multiple websites delimited by | (pipe symbol) as shown below.
Step 3: Restart firefox browser
Save the options and restart the firefox, which will automatically open both the website mentioned in the Home page now. In this example, it will open both thegeekstuff.com and linux.101hacks.com website automatically in multiple firefox tabs whenever I start the browser.

My firefox doesn’t have: Tools menu -> Option menu-item -> Main Tab.
It has: Edit -> Preferences -> General
Instead of restarting the browser you could press (optionally Ctrl+t for new tab and) Alt+Home for openning your home page(s). I’m not sure about default behavior, but my firefox will never open homepage while started as it holds previous session and there are always some pages from the last time that will be loaded instead of homepage (in my case).
nice …thank u.
