New Window from "FILE->NEW-WINDOW" duplicates all the currently open tabs in the new window. I want new window with just the "Home" tab please?

Running Firefox 3.6.13 on 64Bit Win7. I like to group tabs on a topic in a window, and when the tabs get to be too many, or a new topic, I do FILE->NEW-WINDOW and expect a new window with just one default (Home) tab. Instead I get a new window with ALL the tabs of the first window. I have checked all the Options I could find. Nothing helped. I CAN make a new Window with just one tab if I right-click a link and say "Open in NEW Window".

A new window should only open with the home page(s).
If you see differently then you need to check your extensions.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Dear Corel, I did start in Safe Mode. At first tried disabling there, then when that didn't work saw you said don't change anything there. Then I did start in SafeMode and checked the theme, it was Default already. And as I was in SafeMode, PlugIns and Extensions are disabled. FILE->NEW-Windows still creates window with all the tabs of the parent. Anyone have any ideas?? Greg
