Hi,
I managed to reproduce this issue on my machine Win 10 with Firefox Release 69, Firefox Beta 70 and Nighlty 71. To reproduce this issue you should go and open a post, then scroll down on page and after that you can go back only after you click Back button twice.
On Chrome works as expected.

I can't reproduce this. Raluca, could you re-test on Nightly?

Hi,
I cannot reproduce this issue on the latest Nightly 72.0a1 (2019-10-30) on Win 10. I tried on Beta 71.0b5 and Release 70 and works as expected.
@rmpoor, can you please retest this using the latest Nightly build (https://nightly.mozilla.org/) and a new clean Firefox profile (https://goo.gl/AWo6h8)?
