194522 - Opening new windows sends me back to homepage

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 187573

(Firefox :: Menus, defect)

Description

[Zack Green]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030221 Phoenix/0.5

When I press Ctrl+N or open a new window from the file menu, the new window goes
back to my homepage, not the page I had opened the window from. For example, if
I open a window in www.xyz.net/forums/index.htm, the new window does not go to
that URL, but back to my homepage, www.aol.com. I am more used to the new window
staying at the URL where I last was when opening it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to a page other than homepage.
2. Press Ctrl+N or open new window from File menu.

Actual Results:  
A new window opened, but went to my homepage.

Expected Results:  
It should have remained at the URL where I was when I opened the new window.

Not a bug; intended behaviour. Btw, it doesn't go "back" to your homepage, it
starts from your homepage.

Dupe of WONTFIXed bug 187573.
