Why is Chrome only opening one tab?

4 or more tabs for Firefox, only 1 for Chrome. Your test is null

I love Firefox but come on Foxy you're making our relationship suffer with your slow startup times. Heck my IE8 starts faster than my Firefox :(

not a fair test lol.

do you think we are dumb ?

You start up firefox with 4 tabs on (very heavy load)

You start chrome with nothing
