Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 195212

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Vinay]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.9.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.9.3

I have setup 4 tabs as my home page.  Pressing Home adds 4 more tabs (same) and
adds 4 more evertime I press Home.  If I visit a site other than the one which
is opened by default (as given in my home page detail), I have no way of going
back to the original site.  eg.  One of my tabs is "My Netscape".  If I visit
amazon.com, I have no way of pressing Home and going back to "My Netscape". 
Pressing home will infact add 4 more tabs (as set in my home page).   

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create multiple tabs - 4 in my case
2.In tools - options - General - Homepage Select "Use Current Pages". OK
3.Close browser and Open.  All 4 tabs will be loaded
4. Press Home 

Actual Results:  
4 more tabs will be created with the same pages.

Expected Results:  
All 4 Tabs should have refreshed/reloaded to their original pages

I came across this problem because:  When I visit a new site (say amazon.com)
from say "My Netscape" tab.  I cannot go back to "My Netscape" without affecting
the other tabs. Suggestion:  Right Click on the tab should have an option to
Reload Home and this will reload to home for that tab.

I hope this helps in making this product more robust.  I have given up IE and
would love to see this product succeed.

Thanks

Check with about:config the value of the pref browser.tabs.loadGroup and
browser.tabs.loadFolderAndReplace.
