先在火狐的“书签”上建立一个新的文件夹如“主页”，在里头放入你想要的多个网页地址。然后在“工具”－“选项”－“主要”下面的“主页”中选择“使用书签”，最后点击刚才新建立“主页”整个文件夹。这样就可以在火狐启动时同时打开多个标签页了。

Awesome. Thanks. I will now be able to pull up a the website for school work as well as my email. Although I probably will go overboard as you say, partly because it helps remind me what websites I need to visit on a daily basis. 2GB of memory, running XP, 190M Commit Charge, shouldn’t put too much of a strain on my system. I have had 7 tabs before and did not notice problems. I guess if your comp has 1GB of memory 3 tabs is a good max number.

Instead of having multiple start pages, I tend to like having a Start page instead with links to all of my favorite sites. That way Firefox loads up faster and you just have to click once to get to a site.

Ahhh wonderful. Every morning I open my browser and check my email and then check the news. Now both web pages pop up automatically when I open my web browser. Thanks for the great multiple home pages tip!

An even better idea would be to create multiple multiple-page-loads that way, when you need all your social network sites, they will load automatically on one window in different tabs. And the same for all your e-mail accounts, services, stores, personal interests. So does anyone know how to do this?

You wrote: “The manual way is to simply type bother URLs into the Home Page text box and separate them with the “|” or pipe symbol.”

I think you meant “both” (not “bother”)? But good hint(s) anyway, although I was looking for something for Safari.

Actually, there’s three ways in Firefox.
You can also open all the pages you want to open at start as tabs, then click the “Use Current Pages” button in the options box.

There’s actually an easier way in Firefox, you just have the tabs open to what you want as home pages and click the ‘use current pages’ button. It’s in your first screenshot.

Already knew this trick, but it’s good that you’re sharing this with others. Firefox is a very powerful tool!
