Is there a way to open a predetermined list of websites at once? (lemmy.ml)

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.

For some reason, I've never been able to get pinned tabs to actually persist. I'll pin the tabs, and then when I shut down Firefox and bring it back up later, the tabs are randomly gone / no longer pinned for some reason.

Some kind of privacy addon interfering maybe? Can't say I've ever had that issue.

I can't think of any that would trigger the issue (I don't actually use a lot of privacy oriented extensions, uBlock Origin probably being the only one most people would consider as such), and I remember the issue going back pretty far before I started using extensions in general.

There's no "proper" way to close Firefox right? Just close the window itself? Sounds silly, but that is the only thing I could think of over the last few years when I tried to use it.

Oh, there's your mistake. If you close one window at a time, Firefox thinks you no longer want that window/pinned tabs, and only restores the last window still open when restarting. Close Firefox with Ctrl+Shift+Q or go to the hamburger menu and exit.

Ahh that would explain it then, that's going to take some time to retrain my muscle memory on closing Firefox then 😅
