1668075 - Always show last visited page from the last different domain than the currently loaded one in back button history dropdown list

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, enhancement)

Description

[Lyubomir [:mystiquewolf]]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:83.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/83.0

Steps to reproduce:

Read some many replies in a mail list archive, like https://lists.opensuse.org for example.

Actual results:

Back button history dropdown is filled with visits from that same domain https://lists.opensuse.org. If i want to go back to Google search result that led me to the threads, i have to go back to pages of that same domain before Google shows up in the list.

Expected results:

The last/bottom page in the list should be that of the last visited different domain that the current one.

Bugbug thinks this bug should belong to this component, but please revert this change in case of error.

Moving to Firefox component because this looks like a frontend bug.

Another potential reason can be seen in the known evitrap site https://eviltrap.site/trap/fullscreen-addon-popup/.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open google.com
2. paste https://eviltrap.site/trap/fullscreen-addon-popup/ into address bar and navigate to it

Now compare the back menu for Chrome and Firefox.
