Spun off bug 1527922.

My understanding is that the Reload button should be disabled for tabs where the user loads about:blank. In tests, when about:blank is opened with BrowserTestUtils.withNewTab, this doesn't seem to be reliable. This causes problems for the toolbar keyboard navigation tests which rely on the consistency of this behaviour.

I'm not sure if this is the same issue, but it seems like it might be related. STR:

  1. Set Firefox to use Firefox Home for new tabs.
  2. Open a new tab.
  3. Type about:blank into the address bar and press enter.
    • Expected: The Reload button should be disabled.
    • Actual: The Reload button is enabled.
  4. Press the Reload button.
    • Observe: The Reload button is now disabled!
