Set Multiple web-pages as Home page for Browser !!

I was quite surprised with the amount of time I had to spend remembering & opening the pages I wanted whenever I open Firefox/IE. I accidentally discovered that I could set multiple pages to open whenever I open my browser.

  • Open the Internet Properties / Options ( under firefox)
  • Type the URL’s you want separated by “|” pipe symbol.
  • Save; Exit and Restart and try

In IE 8: You can enter the URL’s directly 1 below the other.

Try out !!!
