Status in Ubuntu Manual: Fix Committed

Bug description:
Rev. 788
Ch. 3, § "Changing your homepage", p. 58 (PDF p. 60)
Type: naming error, could be more useful

Manual has:
3. In the “Startup” section on the Main tab, which is shown by default, click on the Use Current Page button. If you had more than one tab open then all the tabs will be opened when Firefox starts.

The first problem is that the tab is named "General", not "Main", as Fig. 3.11 demonstrates.

The second problem is that if the user has more than one tab open, but only wanted one of them as their homepage, they're left to figure out the solution alone.

Suggestion:
In the "Startup" section of the General tab, click on the Use Current Page button. If you had more than one tab open, then all those tabs will be opened when Firefox starts. If you only wanted one page, you can copy and paste its URL from the Location Bar into the Home Page text box.
