654902 - If home page URL is same as one of my app tabs just open the app tab

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 633148

(Firefox :: Settings UI, enhancement)

Description

[Josh Brackett]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.0; rv:2.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.0; rv:2.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0.1

Instead of opening up a regular tab with my home page loaded in it just load the app tab that contains the same URL if it exists.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set home page as http://www.google.com
2. Right click tab from step 1 and choose "Pin as app tab"
3. Close browser
4. Open browser and I have an app tab and a regular tab opened to the same URL.

Actual Results:  
I have an app tab and a regular tab opened to the same URL.

Expected Results:  
Browser should just have the app tab with my home page.  If there are multiple app tabs then the app tab with my homepage should be selected.

This should only occur when the "When Firefox starts" option is "Show my home page".

This is clearly a duplicate of bug 633148. I'm not certain that either of these are really duplicates of bug 588733, though. I would summarize the issue in this bug as "Allow me to use an app tab as my homepage", which is a little bit different.
