125858 - new window (control n) goes to home instead of where you are

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 36269

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

Description

[Jay Krell]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:0.9.8) Gecko/20020208
BuildID:    2002020811

In IE, when I press control-N for new window, the new window is on the same url
as the window I was in when I pressed control-N. This is very useful because
"open in new window" so often doesn't work, 'cause of script and such.

In Mozilla, new window opens a new window on my home page. That is not good. My
home page is easy enough to get to by clicking home or running a new Mozilla
from the start menu.

I know this is preference but the IE behavior is clearly (to me) superior.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. browse to other than your home page
2. type control-n
3.

Actual Results:  new window goes to home page

Expected Results:  for new window to be on the page I was on


This is enough reason for me to not use Mozilla.
