When I hit the homepage button on the Firefox toolbar, it now opens a whole new window instead of a new tab. It used to work until I upgraded to Firefox 9. Any suggestions as to how to fix this?

Isisombululo esikhethiwe

You would normally only get a new window if the Shift key is pressed when you click the Home button.

Does that also happen if you use the keyboard shortcut (Option + Home)?

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

This did not work. Do you have any other ideas?

No, it doesn't happen when I hold the option key.
