If 'Home' is set to a number of tabs and you click the 'Home' icon, all of the
home tabs are opened on top of existing tabs. Typically (?), the first tab is
the user's 'real' home page. Once they navigate away from that page, there is no
easy way to navigate back without endlessly clicking the 'back' button. I would
like to suggest a button on the home page tab (that is, the first tab) that
returns you to the original page.

marking as dupe of bug 263401. That bug suggests that klicking the home button
again should only load the first tab.

reopening because above bug is now dupe of a bug which does not propose the
desired behaviour.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
