Desktop Web [Desktop Web] Back Button Hijacking on Firefox - GUI and browser back buttons don't work and haven't for days
Probably because of a recent release both the GUI and FF browser back buttons are, once again, doing nothing but reverting the URL to the previous one while leaving the content trapped in it's current state. I can only imagine that Reddit's use of history.pushState to update the URL and dynamically load new content is conflicting with either FF or uBlock Origin's protection against history spamming.
My experience is that lately pressing either back button is a waste of time unless I press it a dozen times after which I get kicked to some seemingly random past content, and then have to find my way back to where I was.
It's annoying s hell. Is anyone else experiencing this, and does anyone know if it's being worked on by either Reddit or the browsers or the adBlockers/content filters?
