User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:2.0b1) Gecko/20100630 Firefox/4.0b1 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:2.0b1) Gecko/20100630 Firefox/4.0b1 When opening a new window the home page from the startup preferences in used. This behavior is not convenient when at startup several tabs are loaded. Additionally, a new window is not really startup so if this is the desired behavior then the wording of the preferences could be a bit better. New window should work like new tab, or even better have it's own option for page(s) to display. Chrome creates a blank tab, Firefox could one up it here. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set a multi-tab home page. 2. Restart Firefox and see the tabs open. 3. Select new window from the file menu 4. New window opens with all the same tabs. Actual Results: 2 windows with identical tabs were opened. Expected Results: 1 window at startup should have the home page tabs loaded, when selecting new window a single tab window should appear.
