"Firefox Home" shouldn't be included in tab count

Firefox Home opens whenever the browser is launched, by design. However, if I leave the browser, open a link in another app, and it gets opened in Firefox, I now have two tabs - Firefox Home, and the new tab I just opened. If I want an accurate tab count, I have to close Firefox Home, which of course is only possible if I have another tab open. If Firefox is launched by any app, shouldn't it just use the existing unused tab?

Hi YAOMTC,

Thank you for your question. You may try setting this feature in the about:config page to 1 http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.link.open_external I hope this helps.
