Say I define different contexts or workspaces. So in my address bar I can type work and it will open up 5 pages that will be associated to that keyword. Then I can type bored and it will open up my 4 defined pages associated to that keyword.

I am NOT asking about pinning pages to the start/home page, and I am NOT asking about loading websites when Firefox starts up (because I don’t want to always load the same things every time I launch ffox). I am also not asking about pinning tabs.

    You can create a bookmark folder with all the pages you want inside, e.g. bored. Right click folder > open all bookmarks. Hope that’s helpful.

      You can also middle-click the bookmark folder itself.

      Or you can open a second window, open all your work sites, then pin the tabs. If you have at least one pinned tab in the first window as well, even if that pinned tab is just about:blank, both windows will re-open when reopening firefox.

        For some reason, I’ve never been able to get pinned tabs to actually persist. I’ll pin the tabs, and then when I shut down Firefox and bring it back up later, the tabs are randomly gone / no longer pinned for some reason.

            I can’t think of any that would trigger the issue (I don’t actually use a lot of privacy oriented extensions, uBlock Origin probably being the only one most people would consider as such), and I remember the issue going back pretty far before I started using extensions in general.

            There’s no “proper” way to close Firefox right? Just close the window itself? Sounds silly, but that is the only thing I could think of over the last few years when I tried to use it.

              Oh, there’s your mistake. If you close one window at a time, Firefox thinks you no longer want that window/pinned tabs, and only restores the last window still open when restarting. Close Firefox with Ctrl+Shift+Q or go to the hamburger menu and exit.

        Middle mouse click on the folder will also open all bookmarks in that folder. It’s how I begin each working day
