FF yields different "Home Page" results on two machines.

On desktop I get my set homepage (the old google/firefox one).

On notebook I get two tabs, the first is about:home, the second is my set homepage (the same old google/firefox one).

On desktop when I press home button, page changes to set-homepage.

On notebook when I press home button, new tab is launched to give me my set-homepage.

The behavior on the desktop is what I expect and what I want. Whats going on with the notebook and how do I make it the same as the desktop?

Check your Homepage setting on the notebook, you may have inadvertently set two pages as your homepage..

Thanks the-edmeister! Exactly right.

I noticed the 'Pages' .vs. 'Page' on the button, didn't occur that it was going to do anything different.

I suppose multiple home pages is a worthwhile feature, but as a pretty big change to the well rooted concept of homepage, perhaps a button for 'page' and another for 'pages' would clue users in a better way.

The single-line syntax combined with the rest of the syntactic characters in a typical url virtually hides the "OR". Particularly so, since the text box is short enough to have a typical url visually truncated.
