Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 18808

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030728 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1

Actually, this is not a bug but a feature suggestion. One really handy feature
of IE is that when you spawn a new window, it comes up set to the page you were
currently viewing, complete with all the history. This makes it very easy to
burrow deep into a site, hold onto a page, and start another window to navigate
to another nearby page. Many lovely opportunities - for easily comparing Louvre
paintings, for example - arise naturally from this feature. 

Mozilla browsers seem to follow the clunky Netscape practice of starting over
from the home page with each new window. But what use is that, when home is
already only a click away? 


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.



Expected Results:  
Please either change to IE's practice or add an option to let the user choose
which way to go. Thanks!
