I have two homepages in internet explorer so they both load when IE starts. but is there anyway so only the first homepage is loaded when the home button is pressed instead of both pages loading?

Yes, Go into IE, Tools, Options and from there remove the second homepage URL.

I'm looking in to it for ie but it definitely works for firefox :)

if you open a new tab and press home it loads all the home pages when you only want google and i can't see an add on to open the first home page in a new tab like there is for FireFox

probably the best solution that i can work out is have bbc in shortcut(it works with 1 only so far)and open new tab and use home and google as home page

but what i do in FF is also have a favorites folder with my 5 favorite sites in it and just r click oprn in all tabs

also in FF if you have roller weel on your mouse you can click it on the home button and it opens home page in new tab.

www.mozilla.com/firefox/

maby use ie7 theam on it https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4583
