2.1.99 [HTML5:2014] Section 5.1 Browsing contexts

  • Article

V0234: The first Document is for the home page specified in the preferences, not for about:blank.

The specification states:

 5.1 Browsing contexts
     ...
     When a browsing context is first created, it must be created with a single Document 
     in its session history, whose address is about:blank, which is marked as being an 
     HTML document, whose character encoding is UTF-8, and which is both ready for 
     post-load tasks and completely loaded immediately, along with a new Window object 
     that the Document is associated with. The Document must have a single child html 
     node, which itself has two empty child nodes: a head element, and a body element. As 
     soon as this Document is created, the user agent must implement the sandboxing for 
     it. If the browsing context has a creator Document, then the browsing context's 
     Document's referrer must be set to the address of that creator Document at the time 
     of the browsing context's creation.
