How can I open multiple tabs from a single bookmark ?

I'd like to combine the features provided by keywords and substitution *1 and multiple tabs as 'homepage' *2 but it doesn't seem to work. e.g. if I create a bookmark with a location value of "https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%s|https://vimeo.com/search?q=%s" and keyword "video", the '%s' values are correctly interpolated but the tab separator/delimiter doesn't work and typing 'video firefox' results in a single table with the request to "https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=firefox%7Chttps%3A%2F%2Fvimeo.com%2Fsearch%3Fq%3Dfirefox". If my description is unclear hopefully the image I uploaded helps.

Is there a way to delimit multiple tabs in the location value of a bookmark ?

I've tried ';' and '\|' as separators to no avail.

I'm not aware of a way to do that with a regular bookmark.

The only way to achieve that is to place these bookmarks in a folder and use "Open All in Tabs" in the right-click context menu to open all bookmarks in this folder.

I've used that trick before, but I'm unaware of how to pass in a parameter to the urls (that contain placeholders with '%s') in the folder... is this possible?

As an aside.. I know this is a pretty obscure use case, but I think there's a reasonable expectation of consistency between the 'homepage and new windows' and 'bookmark location' handling. I found an existing bug for this that was marked as WONTFIX 10 years ago at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=421785 The rationale for rejecting the requests makes sense but perhaps now that there's the ability to substitute elements of the URL with %s, it is worth revisiting supporting my request in the name of UX consistency ?
