168045 - New Window should optionally show same page with history (ala IE)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 18808

(SeaMonkey :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Matt Walsh]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826

In IE, if I do 'open in new window', I get a new browser window with the same
URL AND even the history (so I can 'BACK' up even in this new window).  In
Mozilla, I get my 'home page', which is rarely useful.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
N/A, this is really a feature request.  Simply from any window press CTRL-N or
select 'Open New Window'

Actual Results:  
Opened a new window with my home page

Expected Results:  
Opened a new window with the same URL as the window I was in when I pressed
CTRL-N.  Or at least, given me the option to do one or the other.
