Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; nl; rv:1.9.1.6) Gecko/20091201 Firefox/3.5.6 GTBDFff GTB7.0

When you've got a few tabs opened, on tab 1 you have, let's say, CNN.com, on tab 2 MSN.com and on tab 3 AOL.com. You currently have tab 3 (AOL.com) selected and you want this to be your starting page. So you go to Tools -> Options and you click 'Use current page', Firefox then picks tab number 1 (in this case CNN.com) as your current page instead of the tab you currently have selected and opened. As the button says 'Use current page' and not 'Use first opened page' I think this should be fixed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open 3 tabs with different websites
2. Choose the 3rd tab and click 'Use current page' in the options.
3. Instead of the actual opened 3rd tab, Firefox sets the 1st tab as the current page.
Actual Results:  
The first tab is being selected as the current page.

Expected Results:  
The currently opened tab (the 3rd one) should be selected as the current page.

When multiple tabs are open the text of the button should changes to "Use Current Pages". This is by design. You can set multiple tabs as home pages.

That makes sense, thank you for explaining.
