Details

Seen using: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041018 Firefox/1.0 STR: 1. Open several pages in new tabs. 2. Go to the General panel in Preferences. 3. In the "home page" section, select "use current pages." 4. Click OK (or hit Enter/Return) to save and close Preferences. 5. Launch a new window and then click on the "Home" icon 6. Observe that you now have your original set of pages which show in the tabs upon launch, as well as a duplicate set of pages which show. The main tab that you have loaded does not duplicate. Hopefully this is clear...
s/main tab/1st tab, I presume? I also experience this on linux fc2, same build.

seeing on Windows too. -Set your homepage to three different tabs (tabs A, B, C) -With the three tabs of those pages still in the window. load the homepage. notice that the tab A(left most) is simply reloaded. The next two tabs, B, C of the homepage are appended to the existing tabs. Five tabs in the window A, B, C, B, C. If you bookmark the the same set of tabs (A, B, C) and then load that bookmark folder as a group of tabs. It overwrites all existing tabs. Should the homepage of a group of tabs do the same?
