Google blank pages

This next thing isn't about installation, but I think I've found a small glitch in Pale Moon linux which is different when using Pale Moon in Windows. This past morning, I was doing some searches in Google. After clicking on some articles to take me to the website, when I clicked on my Back button to take me back to the Google page with all the search articles listed, it took me back to a blank white colored page. This happened 6 times in a row. In order to see the page, I had to click on my Reload button.
This doesn't happen with Pale Moon in Windows. I do recall this behavior also happened in Firefox in both Windows and in Linux Mint. It has something to do with "session history". The integer for session history by default in Firefox is set at minus one (-1). I changed the integer in Firefox to zero (0) and no more blank colored white page when clicking the Back button in Firefox.
The integer number for Pale Moon in linux is the same as it's set in Windows which is the number two (2). I never had a problem with the Back button giving me a blank white colored page in Windows when using Pale Moon. But, the blank white colored page when using Google is showing up in linux when Pale Moon is the browser.
So I typed in......about:config.....in my address bar and then in the search feature in about config, I typed: browser.sessionhistory.max_total_viewers.....and it brought up the integer which was the number two (2) just like in Windows. I changed this number to zero (0) and no more blank white colored pages when clicking on the Back button when using Google in Pale Moon linux.
You might want to check this out in Pale Moon linux or have others confirm it since a non technical person like me could be wrong, but on this, I don't think so since it hasn't happened anymore.
