Reopening a tab opens previous version of page #1

Operative System: Windows 10 Browser: Firefox 75.0 (64-bit)

Error This happens after some update, basically I mean that this didn't happen when I installed the browser and the extension, but I'm not sure when it happened.

The error is when you open a link, navigate through it, close it, and then when you reopen it instead of giving you the last page in which you were, it shows you the page to where the link took you.

Steps to reproduce Step 1. Enter to https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2020/03/30/new-features-to-core/ Step 2. Navigate, in my case I went to Support, and then to Pricing. Step 3. Close the tab, I used Ctrl + W, but I suppose it doesn't matter. Step 4. Press Ctrl + Shift + T to reopen the tab.

This has been mention in quite places, one of those for more info could be this bug from firefox https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1627801 but I haven't seen any place with a fix.

In the link I also explains that I went to about:profiles, disable all the extensions and it worked as intended, reopening at the last page that you visited. So then I went enabling one by one and saw that the problem happened with NelliTab. And because I saw some guy commenting about this 3 years ago on reddit, my bet is that Mozilla re-used the functionality of new pages from before Quantum and is something about the interaction of new pages with extensions. But I don't know how to investigate more.
