Can I open multiple tabs in Firefox when WINDOWS starts up? Command line limits to about 204 characters...
I know how to configure Firefox so that it opens multiple tabs every time you open ''Firefox''. I want it to open multiple tabs when I start ''Windows''. Or in other words, I don't want to connect to multiple web pages every time I open a browser, just the first time I log on for the day.
I tried appending the web sites in the command line of a Firefox shortcut in my Windows Startup folder. The problem is that in this approach, you're limited to as many URL's as you can type in about 204 characters ('C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe' uses up 52 of the 256 characters available in a shortcut).
Is there a way to open more tabbed web sites than that?
What would be cool is if there was something like a FFstartup.ini file or something, where you could provide a list of websites as long as you want, and it would open them all. So, the command line would look like:
'C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe' 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\FFstartup.ini'
...and the FFstartup.ini file would look like:
[Startup]
'http://www.yahoo.com'
'http://www.google.com'
'http://www.firefox.com'
etc...
If there's no current way to do this, how would I make this suggestion to be developed?
Thank you!
Use a .bat or .cmd file to start Firefox if you need more space than the target line in a shortcut allows.<br />
Separate the URLs with spaces.

3.14.3.0Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you. -
I use a website in my daily work activities that I need to have multiple sessions of the website open at any given time. Natively, I cannot have multiple sessions open in a single browser (separated tabs or separate windows) without one session taking over the other. Internet Explorer has a command line option (-nomerge) that will allow me to accomplish what I need. The target line of the IE shortcut properties would look like this:
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" -nomerge
Is there a similar solution for Firefox?
I am running Windows 7, IE11 and Firefox 26
Thank you in advance,
RobertHello rpvincent, try
* firefox.exe -new-window <url>
(the url is without < >)

I can't open new tabs in Firefox
I recently removed and reinstalled Firefox 10.0.02. After the new installation was finished I discovered that I can't open a new tab independently. I can open one with a new link, but simply clicking on the small box with the + sign no longer works.
Does the issue still occur if you start Firefox in Safe Mode? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode
How about with a new, empty profile? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Basic%20Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile -
Can't open a tab in the same window
Hello, tell me, please, why can't I open a new tab in the same window. maybe I did something wrong done in the settings?
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
*Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Can opening multiple tabs in Firefox slow down my computer (desktop)?
No further details.
That is possible if there are a lot of tabs open with active content (plugins or scripts) that need to be updated. It shouldn't make a difference for websites that only have text on current computers. But be cautious with websites that have a lot of Flash content.

How can I keep multiple tabs to reopen when I relaunch browser?
I just downloaded Firefox 8.0. NOW I cannot reopen my browser with the 8 or so tabs like I used to do previously? Please suggest if this is possilbe. Thanks.
Hi - it still did not contain a precise response to my problem. But then I wandered around some more in the Tools option and found "always show the tab bar". I unchecked that, and it seems that for now all the tabs are gone. Shall have to see if they return on restarting or rebooting. If so, will post back. Thanks.

How can I open two tabs and see two windows side by side at the same time?
The instruction I found on the web about using | between web addresses did not work. I have a Mac. Thanks.
The | character is typically used when creating multiple home pages. If you want two tabs displayed at the same time, you can try the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4287/ Fox Splitter] add-on.

I can not open new tabs in my current window. I have to open a whole new session to open additional web pages. Links work and will open in separate tabs, but I can not start a new tab. Please advise!!!!!
That can a problem with the Ask<i></i>.com toolbar (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions)
See:

Firefox on my laptop will not allow me to open multiple tabs, how can I fix this issue?
I usually use firefox and yesterday was downloading a photoshop program called gimp. all of a sudden after downloading it, firefox stops allowing me to open multiple tabs. I click on file and new tab, but it still will not work.
The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. Uninstall that extension.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
* Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
* Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons -
For example, sometimes I would like to open multiple tabs of Google Maps to get directions to multiple locations, and I haven't found a way to do so without open a new instance of the browser. Thanks.
This one colors tabs, but the author warns that it doesn't work with other tab-related extensions, so you probably need to keep searching for one that does everything you want:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/colorfultabs/
If you don't find a do-it-all extension, you can modify the tab titles with a userscript that is specific to that website. This is because the tab displays the text designated in the page as its title.
You either could "hard code" the list of words for each of the pages, or you could have a script extract information from the page, for example, the first main heading, or some other predictable bit of data. The script then would insert your preferred wording as the title of the page and Firefox will show that on the tab.
To see how that appears, so you know whether it would be useful, you could do this experiment:
On a web page that has useless tab text, open the Web Console using command+alt+k (Windows: Ctrl+Shift+k). In the line at the bottom next to the caret, paste the following code and press Enter:
document.title="Magic!";
If you decide you want a script written for this, you could try the request forum on userscripts''.''org:
[http://userscripts.org/forums/2 Ideas and script requests - Userscripts.org]
Although some people offer small payments, that usually isn't necessary to motivate people to help.
Let me give you a brief warning about that site, though: over the past year, a lot of popular scripts were duplicated and reposted with additional code that hijacks your Facebook account. Be cautious when installing scripts, check the reviews, make sure there are no references to Facebook. -
Why when I open multiple tabs in Facebook, the tabs load very slowly and most times don't load at all?
The default of the pref network.http.max-connections has been increased from 30 to 256 in Firefox 6+ versions.
You can try to decrease the value of the pref <b>network.http.max-connections</b> from 255 to a more modest setting like 30 as used in Firefox 3 versions.

Can i open multiple windows or tabs in itunes?
Hi,
When I look for downloads with Safari I can open multiple tabs to compare items and efficiently use my slow connection. Now apps for iPad are in iTunes, where that option doesn't seem to be possible. Very annoying.
Or am I just missing some trick for opening additional tabs or windows?
thanks
