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

Request:

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.

New Tab Homepage extension:

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.
