761096 - Don't preload history in new tab

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Christiaan Hofman]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:13.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/13.0
Build ID: 20120601045813

Steps to reproduce:

Open a new tab


Actual results:

A tab with some items from the history is opened. When I load another page in it, the initial tab remains in its history.


Expected results:

An *empty* tab should be opened, and when I load an actual page in that tab that page (and not the initial junk) should be the first item in the history of that tab.

At the least, this should be controlled in the preferences if continued.

Did you mean like at about:config?filter=browser.newtabpage.enabled or in the UI?

The decision to turn this on by default was in bug 716538.

So far the triage options for this bug are:
1. Resolve WONTFIX due to bug 716538
2. Resolve DUPLICATE of bug 724239
3. Resolve DUPLICATE of bug 729063
4. Resolve INVALID for not keeping to a single issue.

Resolving as INVALID as all the reported problems are tracked as individual bugs.
