Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open a new tab and enter a URL or go to a bookmark
2. Look at Back/Forward buttons

What is the expected behavior?
"Go Back" button should be disabled - if I want to
see the New Tab page I will just open a New Tab...

What went wrong?
Go Back button shows history back to New Tab page
which is misleading/confusing - makes me think there
is earlier browsing history - makes me hesitate to
close the tab without checking the history.

Did this work before? N/A
