That's really sad. It works in FireFox!

Don't you worry -- Mozilla isn't immune from this. They removed this feature on Firefox for iOS which is super annoying. You can type in new tab page but it's not allowed to be about:blank.

Yay installing an empty HTML page on my server just to have basic functionality.

That's odd, it works in Fennec for Android. I wonder if it's a side effect of iOS not actually using Firefox's rendering engine.

I mean, they could surely work around that right? Use something like an empty data:text/html page instead of about:blank if there really is some sort of iOS restriction.
