Hi all,

When I open new tab, I get a most recently visited sites. Once I select one of them, it gets me to that page (ie bbc.co.uk). When I finish reading main page of BBC I'd like to have possibility to click Go Back button and return to New Tab with recently visited sites. Now I have to close a tab and open new one. Too much clicks :P

Chrome can do that. Can Firefox?

Regards:)

Firefox doesn't allow to use the Back button to go back the the about:newtab page for security reasons (web pages could run a script). Best would be to use a middle-click to open the page in a new tab and close the tab or use a bookmark on the Bookmarks Toolbar to open the about:newtab page in the current tab.

Thanks cor-el. I used that method too. Well, if there is nothing we can do more, then thread closed.
