No.

No, what i mean is to set multiple homepages that load when you start firefox, like what ie7 has.

i am using firefox 2.0.0.13

thanks

In that case

That wasn't what you asked, but in that case try this guidance;
Multiple tabs open when starting Firefox.

It mentions the "Pipe" character. On my keyboard, (UK), that is the vertical line obtained by Shift + the key next to the "Z" key. However, note that this article talks about a problem using the | character and trying the escape code ( %7C ) instead.

Try the pipes first.

Does that work for you?

Glad you got what you wanted. I only use that function in Internet Explorer at work. I open three tabs so I can log in quicker.

Curious, where did you get the straight line from?
