I want to be able to open my favorite bookmarks without having to open firefox first
When I had IE 9 I could send my favorites to a "tab" in the lower right hand corner called Links and I could open any one of my favorites without opening IE first. When I want to open a favorite bookmark from Firefox, I have to open Firefox first. Is there a way to save bookmarks without having to open the webpage first?

Drag a tab to the desktop by grabbing the icon that is in the end of the address bar. The shortcut created will then open from the desktop.
Yes, I know I can do that, but I don't want 30-40 icons on my desktop. Yes, I know I can make a folder with all my favorites, but I was really looking for something like I used in IE9 as I explained in my initial explanation.
The usual method may be to open Firefox with certain favourites as homepages, or to open Firefox with the tabs from the last session. It may be unusual to have 20-30 pages as a homepage. There may be some limit to the string length but you could try it.
Once Firefox is open you may also choose to open any folder in the bookmarks library and use the option open all tabs. If you wanted you could also open Firefox directly into the library as a tab.
- use chrome://browser/content/places/places.xul
Additionally note that firefox handles tab groups (I seem to recall development of this feature has stopped and it may be replaced in the future)
If you do use tab groups please note they are not too robust. You could loose the sessions, it is a good idea to bookmark important tabs.
Another workaround may be to use a document containing a list of the required links and open that document or a link from it with Firefox. I am not sure if there are any add-ons that do what you require, you could have a look.
