Dear Sir or Madam,


In extreme precis:

1. I select a 'Home Page' using the following menu options:

1.1. Tools 1.2. Options 1.3. Home Page

2. In ff3.n I select a New Tab using the following menu options:

2.1 File 2.2 New Tab

Result: New Tab is populated by Home Page

3. In ff4.0 I select a New Tab using the following menu options:

3.1 File 3.2 New Tab

Result: New Tab is populated by Blank

Workaround:

I left click Home Page button on top right of ff4.0

I will be grateful if the version 3.n functionality can be imparted to 4.0


Yours faithfully,

Firefox has never has a feature for loading your homepage when you open a new tab. Your previous version must have had an extension installed that added that feature to Firefox.

This doesn't work. It's the 3rd one of these I've tried and still nothing!! I guess I'll go back to 3. It's not the only thing I don't like about 4.
