Internet Explorer 7 – No more duplicate “home” tabs

I’ve started using IE7 instead of Firefox. Why commit such blasphemy? Because the tabbed browsing is functionally better. For a long time I’ve been setting multiple tabs as my “home” page. Long before IE7 I disliked the way Firefox opened all of the tabs set as the home pages as duplicates (except for the currently selected tab) when the “home” button is pressed.

IE7 did away with this nonsense while I can’t find much reference of it as an acknowledged problem or future enhancement by Mozilla. Now when you press the home button in IE, while the first tab to the left is selected, it will only refresh, not re-open, all of the pages you have set as the home page tabs. To me this is a critical function that I think has been long overlooked by Mozilla. Strange that I can find no reference to it bothering anyone else.  I don’t think I’m being too picky.  It bothered someone at Microsoft.
