Can you please check how many tabs were open before you have pressed the button "Use current Page(s)? If it was with a fresh profile, there should have been two tabs open. Both will be the homepage, and will cause an additional tab to open when clicking the home button.

One tab was opened when the home page was set.

When doing the test a blank tab page was opened and the home button pushed.  Instead of directing the blank tab to the home page it opened a new tab with the home page.

Does it mean you are still seeing this behavior? Do you have a chance to create a screencast?
