1457165 - Location does not match "Navigated to" URL when pressing "Back" button

Status: NEW

(Core :: Widget: Cocoa, defect, P3)

Description

[mborch]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.13; rv:59.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/59.0
Build ID: 20180323154952

Steps to reproduce:

1. I change the current history entry using "replaceState";
2. I navigate to a new page using assignment to "location.href";
3. I click the back button.


Actual results:

The browser loads the URL specified in the "replaceState" call, but the location bar – and "location.href" – shows the original URL.


Expected results:

The location information should match the URL that was retrieved.

Hi , i managed to reproduce this issue only on MAC OS using the latest nightly build (61.0a1 (2018-05-01)) using the following steps:

1. Open Browser and reach http://www.ign.com
2. Add DOM to Dev Panel from Settings and "Show Split Console(Esc)".
3. Paste the following script in the Split Console and press Enter : 

window.history.replaceState({
    ign: 'bar'
}, 'http://www.ign.com', '/ps4');

4. Filter the DOM Panel to show only show "location" and refresh the panel. ( Notice the location is now: http://www.ign.com/ps4 )
5. Paste - location.href = "http://www.google.com" in split console and press Enter. (Notice the location is now : http://www.google.com)
6. Click the Back browser button.

The "location" is the original http://www.ign.com instead of  http://www.ign.com/ps4

I will set the component for this to Widget Cocoa since it only occurs on MAC OS,  i was unable to reproduce it on Windows.
