How to open multiple webpages in separate tabs within a browser using selenium-webdriver and python

I want to open mulitple local htmls within same browser window using Selenium Webdriver using Python. I have tried following in Jupyter notebook:

from selenium import webdriver

1page = "file://<path for 1.html>"
2page = "file://<path for 2.html>"
firefox_path = 'C:geckodriver.exe'

driver = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path= firefox_path)
driver.get(1page)
# For opening 2nd HTML in another Tab
driver.execute_script('''window.open('''+ 2page + ''',"_blank");''')

Running above code lead me to the following error:

JavascriptException: Message: Error: Access to 'file://<path of 2.html>' from script denied

How to mitigate this error?

Method 1

To open multiple URLs / webpages in seperate TABs within a browser you can use the following solution :

• Code Block :

  from selenium import webdriver
  
  first_page = "http://www.google.com"
  second_page = "https://www.facebook.com/" 
  options = webdriver.ChromeOptions() 
  options.add_argument("start-maximized")
  options.add_argument('disable-infobars')
  driver=webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options, executable_path=r'C:UtilityBrowserDriverschromedriver.exe')
  driver.get(first_page)
  driver.execute_script("window.open('" + second_page +"');")
