Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 187573

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Sree]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7

For example ,If Iam on www.google.com & press ctrl-N to open one more instance
of the same page, it rather opens the page & directs me to my home page.
This is not helpful & must be addressed either as a parameter controlled option
or as a standard option

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open any page other than your home page. Assume home page as -www.mozilla.org
and current page you are in as -www.google.com
2. Press ctrl-N here. 
3. 

Actual Results:  
It rather opened the new page with the default home page address(as set in the
options- say www.mozilla.org)

Expected Results:  
I would expect a new page with my current web address like - www.google.com
