Multiple Homepages in Mozilla Firefox

Or open the tabs you want as starting pages and press “Use Current Pages” in the Options.
Or use Opera. It has support for 9 sites on speed dial (little thumbnails of the site for your homepage).
I’ve never been high on Opera. The UI has always been a major turnoff for me. And I now depend on my Firefox plugins for development.
To open a blank tab, add a pipe after the last url.
