When I open a new tab, it defaults to about:newtab. When I then enter a URL in the address bar and go to it, about:newtab appears in the tab's history. This started happening in Firefox 57. I don't want about:newtab to appear in the tab's history. How can I revert this behavior?

Try upgrading to Firefox 58. Does clicking the 3 dots, and remove from history not work? – MonkeyZeus – 2018-01-23T19:01:34.337
Then I'd have to do that every time though. And I don't see that option in the three dots (in the address bar) anyway. I prefer it like before, because then I could see if I was on the first page in the tab, by checking if the back button was greyed out. – Gary – 2018-01-24T03:38:03.487
Are you using Windows? You may wish to provide a screenshot because I cannot reproduce the behavior... – MonkeyZeus – 2018-01-24T12:47:53.260
1The question is not asking about Firefox history, but the entries that appear for the Back/Forward buttons. – palswim – 2018-02-01T18:44:57.503
