Chosen solution

Not that I know of. Note that you can use Ctrl+9 to go to the last tab.

If you reopen tabs from the previous session automatically then the focus is on the tab that is selected when you close Firefox.

Yes

1) Go to Options 2) First Section in General in the HomePage: text Box 3) place the urls of page of tabs you want open even text docs off PC and such 4) Separate each like with a pipe | located on keyboard (Shift + \ button)

file:///C:/Users/ (username)/Desktop/stuff.txt


Next too Under General

Check the box 

When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately

Did exactly as you said but doesnt change a thing. :( focus still in the first tab. the last unfocused tab shows text from the file.

You can try to start Firefox with the about:blank page or with the page that you want to open by modifying the Firefox desktop shortcut or create a copy and add the URL to the target line in the properties.

Did you try -new-tab?

Yep, New tab only creates seperate Windows if there is no existing window open. Also not working in combination with URL. Is there an option for delaying new tab few so the last tab gets opened with newtab command on focus?
