title: How to add a timeout or pause in a batch file to open firefox tabs each X seconds
body: <p>Hello im having a hard time to make a batch file to open new firefox tab windows to several links. My objective its firefox open several links 1 by 1 or in a group of 5 for example since its a big list, with a pause to give me time to close the older tabs before making whole system go very slow.</p>
  
  <p>I have try this:</p>
  
  <p><code>@echo off
  start firefox.exe --new-window www.cnn.com/
  timeout /t 60
  start firefox.exe www.bbc.uk
  timeout /t 15
  start firefox.exe www.google.com
  timeout /t 15
  start firefox.exe www.yahoo.com
  timeout /t 15
  close firefox.exe
  exit</code></p>
  
  <p>This gives me 2 problems, he opens a new firefox window instead of using the one already in use but more serious and problematic, he doesn't open a new tab to each link. Instead he opens a new browner to each link what makes my system go slow very fast.
  How i fix this 2 problems?</p>
