Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:42.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/42.0
Build ID: 20151029151421

Steps to reproduce:

After opening a page in a new tab (this is important), I clicked on a mailto link on that page which sent me to gmail. 


Actual results:

After being sent to gmail, there was no back button (that is, it was greyed out), so I couldn't return to the previous page.


Expected results:

I should have been able to return to the previous page. On the same page, if I open it in the same tab (so that it has some history) I am able to use the back button after opening the mailto.
Component: Untriaged → Bookmarks & History
OS: Unspecified → Windows 10
Summary: Back button not working when there is only one back page → Back button not working after open in new tab then mailto
I can reproduce this in FF 56, and I suspect it's the same bug as these:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=499527
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=624104

I've noted a few more details at bug 624104.
This seems to be close enough to those other two that we can mark it as a duplicate.
