When I push the home button to go to my home page, the firefox loads my home page but also opens a new tab with the firefox home page with the google search bar.

How do I stop the new tab from opening. I can't find it in the options page.

Ok, I fixed the problem.

I read about how firefox can have multiple home pages. So I checked the home page setting but I only had one webpage listed in the box. When I initially set the home page I pushed the "Use Current" button. This time I cut and pasted the url into the box. This has fixed my problem.

Is this a bug in the web browser? Again, the second website was not listed on my home page field.
