Attached patch patch (obsolete) — — Splinter Review 
Steps to reproduce (thanks to a mibbit user on IRC):
1. Open a new tab.
2. Type "about:" in the urlbar and press enter.
3. Open the tab sidebar.

Expected results: No undo close tab button.

Actual results: Undo close tab button appears with a blank tab.

This happens because we initially create a remote tab showing about:blank, then destroy it to create a local tab for the about: page.

The patch fixes this by never showing "undo close tab" for about:blank. (It's just not that useful.)  It also fixes a similar bug where extra tabs are created when opening pages with the about:empty start page showing, and another related bug where the blank tab fails to close if there are no other tabs.

D'oh!  Yes, it is.  That fix looks good.  This new patch will apply on top of bug 615271, and only fixes the related bugs mentioned in comment 0.  I'll add a test later today too.
