Which addon, will open multiple tabs, from the multiple URLs in my clipboard ? (lemmy.ml)

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.

Assuming you know what you're doing, maybe some script? At least on linux something like this seems to work:

#!/bin/bash

urls_file="${HOME}/path/to/url_list.txt";
sleep_time=1;

while read -r line;
do
    firefox "${line}";
    sleep ${sleep_time};
done < "${urls_file}";

edit: heh, tried to delete this as irrelevant, as I entirely missed the clipboard & requirement for a button IN firefox.. but it didn't really delete it seems. Oh well, leaving this in for laughs.

Anyhoo, if you need to speed up/throttle the link opening somehow, maybe add some incremental counter there and skip sleeping if counter < 10 or whatever.

On windows (where I am trapped), I can make a script read the clipboard (or even a script directly in my clipboard manager, ditto) but what I don't know is how to make firefox open URLs in a specific window.
