I cannot reproduce this bug.

I did:

1. Type about:blank in the URL bar, then, Alt + Enter to open a new tab
2. Then, type mozilla.org in the URL bar when the new tab is active, then, Enter

Finally, the navigation buttons are disabled, i.e., I cannot open the context menu of them.

On the other hand, type about:blank again and Enter. Then, about:blank is loaded to the tab. Then, the back button becomes enabled. However, the context menu shows "about:blank".

I couldn't reproduce this, either. I was testing with Nightly Fx 129, Win11.
Do you still see this, Freddy?

about:blanks aren't stored in session history.
blanktab.html is something else

Maybe this was fixed elsewhere? I also can't repro.
