Summary: multiple Bookmark loading @ startup → multiple home pages loading at startup
IMHO loading the home tabs sequentially instead of concurrently would be unacceptably slow, especially if there are many of them and/or if there are timeouts. I propose WONTFIX

Well, I think it would be valid to prioritize the first tab load over the other ones, but that doesn't sound easy. In any case I think this is a browser bug, not toolkit.

@Benjamin Smedberg - yes, this is the best solution! Note: XP for example has the TCP Connection issue, if not patched only 10 Connections could be established... if you have 5 - 10 tabs this is slowing down by OS maybe on some systems (no patch with xp antixpy) Maybe Firefox should implement a add-on or native fuction to rise up the connection limit on win-nt-os systems ...

This is almost bug 586068, except that bug was fixed for session restore but not, AFAIK, for multi-tab homepages.
