Under the Home Page section in Preferences > Navigator there are options to set the user home page manually, use the current home page, and use the current group. There should be a way to manually set the group as well.

Reproducible: Always

You can set the prefs "browser.startup.homepage", and "browser.startup.homepage1", "browser.startup.homepage2" etc. manually and then "browser.startup.homepage.count" to the number of homepages you have specified. All via about:config.

Maybe with the "|" symbol? See bug 189930 comment 7.

Why not use the "Enter" key and increase the height of the homepage, as in IE7?
Or even better, why not let the user make a list where they will add/remove URLs?

This has actually been fixed for quite a while in SeaMonkey (on trunk), apparently since the relevant patch of bug 394522 was checked in in February. There, Edit -> Preferences -> Browser has a big text field where you can enter many URLs, one per line, which will then be used together as a homepage group.
