Details

Multiple fastcodesign.com URLs appeared on my new tab page after just one visit. Upon investigation the visit_count for the URLs increases every time I scroll on the website homepage, and therefore the frecency score increases rapidly. At a guess I'd say they are using replaceState to set the address on every scroll event.
Confirmed with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:30.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/30.0 ID:20140228130532 CSet: 8abc76dedec2

Every step further doing "indefinite scrolling" adds one additional entry in the history.

Is this the right Component? Or rather Core Document Navigation?

Core / Document navigation is for session history, about:newTab is based on global history instead. so the component looks correct, even if the fix may end up being at at the docshell level.
I indeed see multiple entries added to global history when scrolling the page. Havin a reduced test-case reproducing what the page does would be useful.
though, it's basically a dupe
