Open multiple firefox tabs from command line

Oops. I just found the answer. You need to add a -url after each `-new-tab'.

firefox -new-tab -url https://www.evernote.com/Home.action -new-tab -url http://www.gmail.com

Now it works. Hope this can help somebody.

You no longer need to add -url, simply write firefox followed by space-separated URLs.

Example:

firefox mail.google.com askubuntu.com stackoverflow.com

Create a file containing list of URLs called url.txt:

http://www.url1.xxx
http://www.url2.xxx
http://www.url3.xxx

Firefox uses the new-tab command, so you could pass the URLs in the file to the browser like so:

xargs -a url.txt firefox -new-tab "$line"
