User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040626 Firefox/0.9.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040626 Firefox/0.9.1

if you have multiple tabs open and you are currently viewing one other than the
first, using 'preferences>general>home page>use current page' sets the wrong
value. It sets the url of the first tab, instead of the currently displayed tab

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. open a whole bunch of tabs with different urls
2. stay on the last tab (on the extreme right)
3. select 'preferences>general>home page>use current page'

Actual Results:  
the first tab's url is set as your home page

Expected Results:  
the currently visable tab should be the new home page

Still happens in Mozilla Firefox 1.0 Preview Release:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10

Also the option is incorrectly pluralized: Use Current Pages

Actually, it should set all the tabs as you homepage if you have more than one
tab open.  Bug 188231 which would do what you want was marked WONTFIX.
->FF:Pref.
