200450 - Option to display home page in new tab by default

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, enhancement)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312

I would like to see an option in the tabbed browsing configuration that allows a
new tab, when opened, to automatically load your homepage rather than the empty
page and bar that it does by default now. Tabs are a very nice feature and I
think this would help many people since many usually go to the same site in a
new tab anyway.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Click the new tab icon in the upper left or press Ctrl-T
Actual Results:  
The tab opens to an empty page and requires you to fill in a URL.

Expected Results:  
This is a good option, but I would like the option for it to automatically load
my home page and perhaps highlight the URL in case I want to change it.

Since it's an enhancement, I don't think any additional information applies.

It works in Mozilla 1.4a (build 2003040105) that was released yesterday. In
fact, most people complain about this, and don't want it :-)
