Description

STR: follow a link to https://www.bing.com/maps?q=N4K+postal+code and then hit the back button.

In Firefox it stays on bing maps, in Chrome it goes back.

I can reproduce in Nightly 92 and Firefox 90.

Chrome has an intervention to not add pages to session history unless user interacts with them.

Is that different than bug 1515073?

That is the right feature, but the pref browser.navigation.requireUserInteraction is currently disabled due to some webcompat problems:

Looks like the meta bug to ship the intervention is bug 1645211.

browser.navigation.requireUserInteraction has been re-enabled as per bug 1734181.

This looks fixed to me on the Latest Nightly build 132.0a1 across platforms (Windows 11, macOS 13 and Ubuntu 22.04) using the website from comment 0.

Verified as fixed on Android as well, on the latest Nightly 132.0a1 from 05.09.2024 using Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra (Android 14).
