i am going to describe this problem completely but i am few week in English so please ignore mistakes!

i use blank page a lot and i always use short key (control + r) to reload the page but i have noticed that when i open a blank page (about:blank). the page reload icon change it's color and the URL bar is become empty the link is gone and now you can not use refresh button but control + r works perfect.

I think this is a problem and it should be fix. and this is not in other browsers.

in image the page reload button in working condition.

This appears to be the intended behavior because it's unnecessary to reload the about:blank page.

If you have typed or pasted a link in the location bar, but haven't open the link then clicking Reload won't open this URL, but will reload the original about:blank page. You would have to use the Enter key to open the URL.

i use Firefox console every time to practice my code so i declare lots of variables and functions that's any mistake i prefer reload the page not assign it the value again and i think everyone use it like this when someone works on a blank page
