Can multiple homepages be opened upon opening Firefox? If you ask a question like that, then the answer is Yes. Multiple pages can be used as Firefox’s homepage. For doing this there is no need to install any plugin or add-on but instead a little patience to read this post and follow the instructions given in it.
First, I’ll say about opening all the tabs you were on when you closed Firefox. For doing this just follow the instructions given below.
1. In the menu bar in firefox, go to ‘Tools’ and select ‘Options’ from it in Windows and ‘Preferences’ in Mac OS. A window will be opened.
2. Click on the ‘When Firefox starts’ option’s dropdown menu and select ‘Show my windows and tabs from last time’.
Now when you launch Firefox, it will show all the tabs you had when you closed it last time.
Now I’ll say how to open a paricular set of tabs when ever you open Firefox no matter which all tabs were present when you closed it last time. The steps for doing it are given below.
1. Open up the page you want to be set.
2. Repeat step 1 in the last case.
3. Click on the ‘When Firefox starts’ option’s dropdown menu, select ‘Show my home page’ and click on the ‘Use Current Pages’ button.
Note: You could see the URL’s for all the pages you had opened in the text box marked ‘Home Page’. Each URL is separated by a ‘pipe’ symbol. Later, if you wish you could edit that list.
That’s it. It’ll open the set of tabs you have set when ever you open Firefox.
