ok - i used to have it set to open google.com when i opened a new tab and at first it was fine - it would open the new tab and have the cursor in the google search box. but then it started opening with the cursor at the end of what was already in the address bar so it wouldn't search correctly. but then it kept putting the cursor at the end of the address bar so when you'd try to type it would just add on the the end of what was already there. i want the cursor to open in the search bar so that when i start typing it has a blank line to type on and i can search. Well now i can't even get my tab to open the google.com page any more. this sucks. Windows 7
