Ok, this is perplexing me. Just wondering if there is a way to do it.
You can create a shortcut as a menu or desktop item that will open FF to a specific URL, ie: KH which will open from my shortcut in my NET toolbar, launch FF and go there.

What I am looking for is a shortcut that will launch a preset tab list of multiple sites in the same manner, ie: my Weather tab that contains six radar maps.

Tried putting two URLs in the same shortcut but it only opens the first one.

Tried putting two URLs in the same shortcut but it only opens the first one.

1.) Create a FF shortcut to the desktop.

2.) In the Target textbox, specify multiple URLs separated by a space char.
See example below.

"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" www.fox.com/schedule/ abc.go.com/

I tried the above example on my PC and it opens
one browser window with each URL in a separate tab.

"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -new-tab www.fox.com/schedule/ -new-tab abc.go.com/

The example above will open two new tabs in the
currently open browser window.

Great Pete, TY
but it would seem max chars of target box are limited and these are rather long URLS.

Now... looking a way to open FF to a specific TABS bookmark and open all the ones contained therein.
