is there a way to make firefox via addon/options/about:config open my previous session like usual but also add pages from the "open these pages on boot" list?

For specific example: I want to open firefox, and have it open all the tabs and Windows I had from yesterday, plus open and focus my to-do list webpage (Google keep) so that it's what I see first.

I have google keep in an app/pinned tab, and I love the session restore feature, I just want firefox on boot to focus the google keep tab every time, while loading my other stuff in the background like usual.

If you switch to that (pinned) tab before closing Firefox then Firefox should select that tab automatically on the next start. If that tab is within the first eight tabs then you can use "Ctrl + 1" to "Ctrl + 8" to jump to that tab (Ctrl+9 goes to the last tab).

This does what I would like, but I am not always going to remember to do this, Im sure firefox can do this automatically for me in some way.
