User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.10) Gecko/20100914 Firefox/3.6.10 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729) Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.10) Gecko/20100914 Firefox/3.6.10 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729) Whatever internals there are, they seem to process the "pipe" characters ("|") and interpret my home page setting ("http://translate.google.com/#ja|en|") as three separate pages; google translate, "en" which equates into "www.en.com" and an empty tab. Someone may have thought that this is a nifty feature, but infact this is limiting what is usable home page URL. If multi-tab/page home pages are wanted, it should be done in the configuration dialog, not this way that also breaks simple usage. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. place the provided URL as your home page. 2. close browser 3. restart Actual Results: Three tabs open, instead of one. None of them are obviously correct. Expected Results: One tab opens with the home page / URL that has been configured. I cannot see a workaround, so I'm leaving this as "normal" instead of "minor"
