Title:
Firefox blank tab not blank
Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
When a new window is opened, with about:blank set to the page to
display, that happens.
When a new tab is opened, even in that new blank window, a nice 3x3
grid of huge buttons shows, pulled from history or somewhere.
The underlying problem is getting endemic to open source: someone's
great idea is so great that the implementer does not think that anyone
will really be annoyed by it. Now, suppose I open a new tab and do
not want the person I am showing something to to see my page viewing
history, gratis, or anything but the subject at hand?
The bug is that someone forgot that the content of a new tab should
really appear the same as the new window.
The effect is that I'll just switch browsers to one that doesn't have
an annoying feature bundled.
