I'm trying to open firefox with two tabs from the command line, with two separate web addresses. So far I'm having no luck.
firefox -new-tab -new-tab
Could someone point me in the right direction?

Oops. I just found the answer. You need to add a -url after each `-new-tab'.
firefox -new-tab -url -new-tab -url
Now it works. Hope this can help somebody.
You no longer need to add -url, simply write firefox followed by space-separated URLs.
Example:
firefox mail.google.com askubuntu.com stackoverflow.com
Create a file containing list of URLs called url.txt:
Firefox uses the new-tab command, so you could pass the URLs in the file to the browser like so:
xargs -a url.txt firefox -new-tab "$line"
