I'd like to be able to set any page I want to open with a new tab instead of being forced to open to the Firefox page.

Why don't we have the option to set the new tab to open the same URL as the home page?

@AgentvirtuelThanks for the tip about the wacky search-bar behavior. I don't see why the default behavior exists, or how the user is supposed to guess that this obscure tweak exists.
