Sometimes, I want to open my home page up in a new tab. Right-clicking on the
home button doesn't work; it'd be nice if a feature where you can right
click->open link in new tab for the Home button.

You can middle click for now (assuming you have a 3-button mouse that is)

Comment 2

[Aaron Slunt]

Ah, true. That works, but not everyone has 3 buttons.

Comment 3

[Jesse Ruderman]

Ctrl+clicking the home button works too.

Right-clicking most toolbar buttons lets you customize the toolbars.  I don't
know if that should be changed.

Right-clicking on the bookmark toolbar gives u the option to open the link it
contains in a new tab; I'm only asking that something similar to that be done
for the Home button only.

we're not going to have a context menu for the Home button.

Ctrl/middle click is fine.
