HWEB:BROWSE and friends

Hi

I have the following problem.

I need to pop up a number of web pages all at once.  Something like

	(dolist (url urls)
	   (hweb:browse url))

However, HWEB:BROWSE and friends reuse the current browser window.  I 
would like to pop up separate browser windows (or, ideally, browser 
tabs)

Is there a simple way to do this?

Thanks

marco

For Firefox/Mozilla you can do that with Tabbrowser Extensions:

No, you just use HWEB:BROWSE. You instruct Windows to use Firefox as
your default browser and you configure Tabbrowser Extensions to open
up a new tab for each URL opened by an external application. That
should be it.
