Is there a quick way to open six tabs?

I was just entering the daybreak competition and wanted to enter six times. I am using firefox and just kept going back to the post on MSE and clicking the link again. Then I wondered if I am missing a trick and there is a quick way to open the link six times at once. Anyone know please?

    I just drag the link along six times, it is quite quick really. Or, if I am not bothered about page source I just hold Ctrl with the mouse over the link and click quickly 6 times.

    Obviously, for mac users this is Cmd.

    Or use the mouse scroll button to click the link, this will open a new tab for each click. very fast. :)

    I open the link once, then press Ctrl+k to duplicate that page 5 more times (or however many I need :)). You will have 5 tabs of exactly the same page.

    Much easier :D

    GL all.

    Install the addons 'New tab toolbar button' & 'NewTabURL'.

    Add the New tab toolbar button to your firefox toolbar & change the options in NewTabURL to open a new current page by default.
