Done. Thank you - and in finality - ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I have to enter into a hidden CONFIG area of the code to undo some bad idea a coder had? Bad for me - others may like it - but lets not be socialists about it.

You can also hold down the Ctrl key and left click the toolbar Home button or middle click the toolbar Home button to open the home page(s) in a new tab.
