I just think there should be a pref (no UI for this pref though) to save
javascript urls in history (something for advanced users). There are many
reasons for this, such as testing the javascript on a web page. Once again, I'm
asking for just a pref, no UI to set this pref or anything (except in
about:config of course).

Reproducible: Always

javascript URLs are special constructs that generally only work in the context
of the page they're embedded in.  "javascript:goBack()" isn't going to to be
useful, and adding a bunch of code to support saving these just doesn't make sense.
