Blank or inexistent page displayed for specific websites when selecting "First Version" option #76

[Notes]:

We know that internet is huge, some say even infinite. But we should at least display the right working pages for most visited websites when this option is selected.
For example, first CNN saved page is dated in 28 February, while the first saved good page is only in 18 April.

[Affected versions]:

Nightly 54.0a1
NoMore404s 1.7.1

[Affected Platforms]:

All Windows
All Mac
All Linux

[Prerequisites]:

Latest NoMore404s add-on (v1.7.1) was previously installed on a new profile.

[Steps to reproduce]:

Open the browser with the profile from prerequisite.
Navigate to http://www.pfaw.org/attacks.htm or http://edition.cnn.com page.
Click the "NoMore404s" button and choose the "First Version" option.
Observe page behavior.

[Expected result]:

For both pages the first working edition saved is displayed.

[Actual result]:

"http://www.pfaw.org/attacks.htm" wrongly displays a blank page.
"http://edition.cnn.com" wrongly displays an inexistent page.
