In version 15 I have to open a new tab everytime I wish to see the "new tab" page and once I select something I cannot go "back" to the new tab page. In version 14 I was able to use the back arrow, to go back to the suggested site links (called a New Tab Page), but immediately lost that functionality once version 15 updated.

I did see the article... https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/804621

but I do not have McAfee site advisor or other extensions and can reproduce the issue in safe mode and after resetting firefox completely. I noticed this asap once version 15 was installed and I see people have complained about this back to version 13.x so I believe something is broken in the new version. I do not use add-ons so would prefer not to be installing such. Please advise. Thank you!

It is not broken as such, but it is removed because of security issues, so you can no longer use the back button to go back to the new tab page.

It is a security decision to help protect the information on the new tab page by not adding the new tab URL to the tab history (session) data.

(please do not comment in bug reports)

hmmm, protect the information displayed on a computer screen by not recording a "history" of it? If it's browser history anyway and not "autocad weapons grade designs" then why is it such a security risk?? Could it not be expanded to the average web surfer to have that "option" ? Isn't it also relevant to my profile only? I've read some suggestions regarding security and the tab page, but it seems far from relevant. I'd like more detail as to "why", but I don't expect I'll get it. Thank you.

Thanks Cor-el for the links, but my router and cookies and cache already record my history to an extent. Heck, Mozilla browser has a 'History" tab (just being semi-sarcastic there).

I think a proper solution would be to limit the history stack with a Mozilla option then any java could only go back so far. The pop, push, replace state javascript doesn't seem to reveal anything that isn't already there.

Of course if it were all my decision, Java, ActiveX, and Flash would all go bye-bye for good.

thanks for the info - I would still like to turn on the back option - I checked the about:config and don't see anything that seems it would force it.
