I don't follow it. This only sets my home page not the number of tabs.
Did I miss something?

Possibly... Do you want multiple (empty) pages as your home page (which
then open in tabs)? Or do you want to start Firefox to open a specific
URLs in tabs from the commandline?

For the first, open all the pages you want in a tab (type about :blank in
the addressbar to get an empty tab), and use Tools > Options > General >
Use Current Pages to set them as home page.

To start Firefox with multiple URLs from the commandline use something like:
firefox "http://www.mozilla.org|about :blank|http://cnn.com"
I.e. you have to separate each URL by |.

Wow, Firefox is smart. This is awesome.
I did not realise that the home page that I save can consist of
several tabs each pointing to a different url. I'm still under the IE
paradigm :-)

Thank you very much.
