User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/66.0.3359.181 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

Hello,

I've got an "issue" with the back button of firefox when I have : 
- a test.html page with a link to "http://localhost:8080/home.html" that redirect to home.html 
- home.html page posts data in jquery to http://localhost:8080/post.html page


Actual results:

When i use the back button of firefox, i go back to the post.html page. 


Expected results:

With internet explorer and chrome, i go back to the test.html page

If i want to have the navigation like internet explorer and chrome, what do you recommend ?

Best regards

Julien, do you think you could host this somewhere?

Anne, do you know why our navigation behaviour is different here?

I don't understand the redirect step. I'm guessing that in Chrome and Edge if the page navigates within some timeframe it's not considered worthy of being a new history entry. I've seen some other bugs against Firefox about this, but I can't find them right now. Olli might have thoughts here.

The behavior in Firefox looks very reasonable here. home.html explicitly loads post.html
