Say I define different contexts or workspaces. So in my address bar I can type work and it will open up 5 pages that will be associated to that keyword. Then I can type bored and it will open up my 4 defined pages associated to that keyword.

I am NOT asking about pinning pages to the start/home page, and I am NOT asking about loading websites when Firefox starts up (because I don't want to always load the same things every time I launch ffox). I am also not asking about pinning tabs.

This seems like a really cool implementation, but I cannot get it to open anything beyond the first site I put into the array. I am never prompted about opening multiple tabs, either.

In Firefox you can add about:newtab To the pop-up exceptions list and it should work.

If you attempt in a new window you can also add about:home to the exceptions.

Great info!

@Crul@lemm.ee adding these exceptions was the necessary trick.

That's weird. The only reason I can think of is, if you have tweaked with userChrome.css, the toolbar with the question may not be visible. I say that because it has happened to me :). You can try restarting with add-ons disabled (via about:profiles) and see if there is any difference.

EDIT: Another option would be that there is some setting I've changed to allow this. But if I did, I don't remember doing it :/.

Here it is how it should look like:

I did give it a shot in a clean profile, but no difference. If I uncover a solution later I will definitely post my findings.

Then I have no idea :/.

Good luck!
