Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 197610

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Timothy Ross]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4a) Gecko/20030401

I am usd to tabbed browsing. Since Mozilla 1.4 alpha the normal way to open a
TAB is not possible anymore (Press Strg+T and enter URL with Keyboard). Instead
pressing Strg+T opens, as usual a new TAB, but also loads immediatly the last
loaded Page. That means, that I have to mark the URL from the last loaded
homepage and enter a new one, which is quite annoying after several times.
It is not really a bug, but it concerns the usability of the browser.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Nothing yet

Expected Results:  
Open empty tabs like in prior versions.
