Bug 1670808 - Right-clicking the back button doesn't show the previous pages drop-down menu after new tab is opened

Does this reproduce with 'fission.sessionHistoryInParent' set to true?

I expect that it does not and this bug will fix itself when we eventually turn that setting on.

Yes, it does seem to not be reproducible with 'fission.sessionHistoryInParent' set to true

Comment 4

[:Gijs (out for now; he/him)]

Removing proton blocking bug as this is not related to proton work.

Then I'd suggest we could just wait until session history in parent is done. Bug 1670808 is a more useful fix to have than a minor flicker.
