In Internet explorer, my home page consists of four separate tabs. If I click the home page drop down menu, I can select which tab I want the current open tab to restore to. Only that single tab is affected. ie, if I have been surfing in more than one tab, but want to retain some but go 'home' on the others, I can with IE. With Firefox, I have to restore all four tabs. If I click the home button in IE, it will open the four tabs starting from the open tab. Fiurefox adds a completely new set. Am I missing something, or do you plan to address this. I was hoping to come away from IE as it has too many instability problems, however, it still offers more functionality than either Firefox or Chrome.

If you want to open a specific tab(s) the use a folder on the Bookmarks Toolbar and middle click the folder to open all bookmarks in it in tabs or open the folder an click an item to open one of them. Firefox will then open that single bookmark in the current tab, but will open the set in new tabs if you middle-click the bookmark or folder. You can't customize the home page to do that, but you can check the Add-ons page to see if there is an extension that adds that feature.
