OT re firefox
don't be fooled by the stock features of firefox, which are perhaps a bit sparse. its strength is the set of extensions available. (the browser itself is pretty much "barebones", and you load only the extensions you want.) so extensions include things like special ways for searching, browsing, blogging, managing bookmarks, etc.
more specifically re your question: the answer is yes. there are two ways: you can store all your links in a folder in your bookmarks and then simultaneously open all of the entries in that folder (which come up in differents tabs). or, you can install the extensions for managing tabs, which allow you to create sets of tabs and to save and reload them.
three greatest extensions: (1) block flash (gives you something to click before its loaded), (2) block ads, (3) automatically bypass the "please register for this site" pages everywhere.
