title: When I open a new tab using JS, some browser history is kept. How to remove it?
body: <p>I'm developing a web application and the users can access the system using both Firefox and Chrome. There are some menus that, when the users selects an option a new tab opens, displaying the desired page. The new page is opened using JavaScript: <code>window.open(&lt;desiredPage&gt;, '_blank')</code>.</p>
  
  <p>In Chrome the new tab has no history, meaning the user cannot go back using the browser's backward button. In Firefox, in the exact moment the tab opens, there are pages in the history, meaning that the user could go back. How to prevent this behavior?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
