Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 294261

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

As far as I can see, what happens when you close the last tab (in the trunk),
the location changes to about:blank but leaves all the history of that tab
active. You can thus go backward using the back button.

You are currently giving a false impression of privacy to your users. I might be
viewing my emails and quickly want to remove trace of it. The best solution?
Close that tab. 

Result: location changes, but anyone can go backwards (even more easily with the
sexy bfcache feature)

Expected result: I closed my tab, my history is gone

Reproducible: Always
