I am using a one hour old CVS based build. Everytime I want to open a blank new
tab, http://www.mozilla.org/start/ is opened, not a blank page !

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.grab sources
2.Apply CVS patches and build a new lizard
3.Install new lizard, and go online
4.Open a new tab
Actual Results:  
New tab is opening, showing http://www.mozilla.org/start/ 

Expected Results:  
Blank page !

I tried with a blank new profile, same behaviour.

It is really annoying. Is this a spin-off bug fix for 109551 ?

Can a pref be added ?
Same problem on 2003031122 linux.
Any new tab opens the home page.
OS: Windows XP → All
As a "workaround", in prefs panel / Navigator, modify location in "Home Page"
frame by about:blank.

When I look at bug 109551, comment #58, I understand we will have to wait until
a new entry to be added in prefs panel.
if i set pref to load a blank page, new tabs now open with the TEXT about:blank,
and the url field isn't even focused. Adding regression keyword.
Keywords: regression
I reopened bug 103329
loading the home page is fine, it's the focus problem that hurts me. accel-t,
accel-l opens a new tab, focuses the urlbar, but then focuses the content area
as soon as the page is loaded. Harder to type a url that way.
Depends on: 109551
Bug seems to be fixed with new patch for bug 109551.

Using a 10 minutes old CVS based trunk build - WInXP-Sp1.

Can anybody confirm this ?
Could someone with the appropriate permissions please update the summary to more
accurately reflect what's happening? I nearly submitted a dupe because a search
for keywords "tab" and "home" didn't return this bug.
2003031215 trunk xp:
It looks ok now, new tab open a blank page
Confirmed that this works fine with todays cvs build cvs 20030313.

Reported ok to close.
->FIXED as per comments.
Really...
