yes it will since it is open source and so mozilla can't and won't risk 
to still track (despites that you can't track impressions and clicks of 
something which is not there and if they would, well the advertisment 
partners kill them for the lie)

so can we please stop the FUD and just disable that feature in Fedora as 
default? oh

and i have the "about:blank" on the desktop for a long time because i 
also don't want a tab preview (while nice on the smartphone) just 
because nobody needs to see what i have recently browsed only because we 
share the same room
