I’m looking for an easy way to create a bookmarklet that, when clicked, would open multiple, pre-defined web pages. Anybody got a good idea?

You can create a tab group in Mozilla - one click of a bookmark opens a bunch of preset tabs in a single window. This is my morning routine.
I've lost the resource... I learned it from Cory at boingboing.net... It's basically an HTML list of links.

Otherwise you could just create a bookmarklet that does a bunch of window.open() calls...

The "easier than how I did it" way to save a tab group in Mozilla:

* Save a window of tabs as a group bookmark by going to Bookmarks | File Bookmark and checking ‘File as group’ – when you go to the bookmark, all the tabs will open at once. (Note: it is not yet possible to have a group bookmark as your start page.)

Thanks, Jake. Only problem: I'm trying to get something like this for work, where I'm locked into IE. I guess I'll have to handcode a bunch of window.open() calls, as you suggested...
