Clicking on contrl-n opens a new window but with the home page

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.I have set http://www.google.com as my home page 
2.During browsing the net with a different URL (i was in http://www.ukwebstart.com/listjobsadmin.html) and i clicked on cntrl-n 
3.The home page is getting displayed instead of the page that i was in


Actual Results:  
Home page is getting displayed instead of the same new page

Expected Results:  
The new page should display a new window, but definitely not the home page. For instance that when i was reading yahoo mail and do cntrl-n, i actual purpose of opening a new window was not to open a browser window but to check another mail in the same page

This works fine in Internet explorer. And possibly could be taken as an enhancement in firefox

Ria, for duplicate defects isnt there a closed button? So that i could go ahead and close this defect from my side. The 3 options at the bottom of this edit box does not contain a "close" button after you marked as "Duplicate"
