StartupApps Firefox Add-on: Open URLs at Startup
StartupApps is a practical Firefox add-on designed to streamline your browser start up. It allows users to set a list of URLs to automatically open in new pinned tabs upon Firefox's startup, serving as a customised homepage. The configuration window, accessible through the bottom left icon, is where you can specify your list of URLs.

User reviews
I have used this add-on for some time now, does exactly what it says on FF Nightly. However, in past week when launching browser fresh (not a restart/restore), the first non-pinned tab that has always opened with browser (home page) cannot be closed now. If tab's 'X' is clicked, the tab dims but remains and cannot be dismissed. Do browser restart and then the tab can be closed with 'X'. Does not happen with any other non-pinned tab, only with this one opened at launch. Disable this add-on and the issue goes away.
