That behavior really sucks. It occurs in 2.1 and above but not in 2.0.14 or before. The bug is documented at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=369440 and again in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=612707 by me. Philip Chee said he caused the problem when he was working on activating the middle click button on the mouse but nothing is being done (AFAIK) to fix it. I'm sticking with 2.0.14 until this is fixed so that clicking Home will 'Replace existing tabs' with the Home Group of tabs and not just add the tabs as is now the case. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
