You may try to do this in your shell script file, say, myScript...

Code:

/usr/bin/browser --url=http://google.com/ &
/usr/bin/browser --url=http://facebook.com/ &
/usr/bin/browser --url=http://yahoo.com/ &

As you can see, the key to run different instances of programs simultaneously is to put the "&" character at the end.

Now, set your file to be executable...

Code:

chmod +x myScript

and run it this way...

Code:

./myScript

There is a side-effect, though --- the Bookmarks page always displays first. I'm not sure how to get rid of it....
