There used to be an addon, “Open tabs from clipboard URLs” but I can’t seem to find it anymore.

The best I find now is, an addon that opens a box, then you paste your URLs in it, then you press a button.

That’s not what I want. I want a toolbar button, I press it, the tabs open.

So that I can opens large blocks of URLs.

Also, I would like another addon which opens large blocks of URLs but does not load them immediately.

I have LoadOnSelect3 for this, but the problem with that one, is that it opens special moz:// pages until you load the tab. And that breaks searching and filtering tabs because the tab title and URL are not the real ones.

    if firefox is the default browser, I guess just start "" "https://your.url.here.foo", as per https://superuser.com/a/36730

    otherwise, I guess you could just cd to firefox’s directory and do the same firefox.exe urlhere

    as for specific window… yea that might be tad hard. https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/CommandLineOptions doesn’t seem to have any way to indicate any specific instance/window from cli.

    could be firefox handles those internally, kinda seems like urls open up in the window which was last active. So… I guess you could start the script by starting firefox with --new-instance or --new-window, and patiently wait until urls are open? I guess.
