102441 - New Navigator Window should open blank or current page, not home page

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 36269

(SeaMonkey :: General, enhancement)

Description

[dlaur123]

The feature that automatically opens a home page on Navigator startup is quite
nice, however, when configured to open the home page on start up, selecting
File->New Navigator Window from the menu reloads the home page as well. Since
the home page was presumably opened when Mozilla was first started, and is
always accessible by hitting the home button, it doesn't make sense to open it
again. If a user wants to open a new browser window, it is most likely because
they want to preserve the state of the current window and go to a new location
in a different window. Opening the home page by default in the new window
creates a delay (which can be long if your home page is complex) before the new
location can be typed in. I don't know if a blank page or the current page would
be a better option, but equating "New Navigator Window" and "Navigator start up"
is sub-optimal.

Basically this is the same than 36269 "New window open should display current
page not homepage", so marking as dup.
Reporter, please reopen if you disagree.
