Internet, Open Multiple Webpages Automatically

On a daily basis, when I open the internet, there are a handful of different sites I visit. Google, Google News, My bank account, and a couple others. Typing all of those in is just too much work. Here is the solution for both Internet Explorer and Firefox:

I'll warn you up front that you'll have to type them in one last time, so be patient. And a side effect not anticipated, it will take longer for your Browser to display because it's opening multiple pages.

Personally, I use Internet Explorer for multiple home pages, and I keep Firefox simple for quick internet access.

Internet Explorer: (You will basically create a "list" of home page links.)
1. Open Internet Explorer
2. Go to your first site, click the address bar with the full URL displayed, it should all turn blue, then press Ctrl C (copy)
3. On the menu bar, go to Tools, Internet Options, and the first screen will have "Home Page" displayed.
4. Click into that box and press Ctrl V (paste)
5. If you already have one in there, just click at the end of it and press Enter, then Ctrl V.
6. Repeat as many times as needed.

FireFox:
Firefox does have a feature so that when you open multiple tabs and close Firefox, it will ask you if you want to "Save and Quit". That works as long as you're on the homescreen of each site when you say Yes.
To set it up manually...

1. Open FireFox
2. Go to your first site, click the address bar with the full URL displayed, it should all turn blue, then press Ctrl C (copy)
3. On the menu bar, go to Tools, Options, General, and the first screen will have "Home Page" box.
4. In Firefox, it is entered in a continuous string separated by a pipe, "|". (That symbol is found on the same key as the
backslash, above the enter key.)

a. Click into that box and press Ctrl V (paste)
b. Now type a space, then a pipe "|" then a space, then paste the next URL and so on.
5. You will need to click OK, go get the next URL, copy, then go back in and paste, etc.
