<everybody else>
Yes! Use the visible one!

This is an IE vs. Netscape-ism.  IE, when you create a new window, defaults to 
opening it on the page you are looking at.  Netscape, opens a new one at your 
homepage.  Personally, I like the netscape version, but that's just me.

I posted about having problems with it not knowing which tab I'm using, when 
using bookmarks, or at least, it's easily confused.  This is (probably) 
another manifestation of that.

Yes! Please don't make right-click destructive.  That's a bad, bad, thing, for 
somebody used to right-clicking the hell out of everything.  Thank you :-)
