I used to be a Firefox user ages ago, and then switched to Chrome for awhile. I'm coming back now, and I'm noticing some strangeness with tabs and "new windows". Can't figure out how to get around it.

My "Home Page" is set up to open three tabs. One is MSN, the second is my email, and the third is Google Calendar. That works great, except..

1) If I pick "New Window" (Ctrl-N), it re-opens those same three tabs. When I open a new Window, I don't want to open those three tabs again. They're already open in the primary window. How do I stop Firefox from doing that? I can't figure out how to make that happen.

2) The other is about the "Home" button. If I push the home button it loads all three of those tabs. In Chrome there's a separate setting for the home button vs the startup tabs. Is there any way to replicate this? I occasionally hit the home button just to load MSN. I don't want all three of those tabs when I hit the home button. Any way around this?

Danke.

That is not possible. A new window opens the home page(s), so you would have to set the home page to about:blank or create a bookmark with the location set to about:blank and hold the Shift key and left-click to open this page in a new window.

You can add those three pages to the command line of the Firefox desktop shortcut to open these page when you start Firefox.

The suggestion about the command line worked. It does blank the home page icon, but I don't really use that all THAT much, I can live without that.
