User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:128.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/128.0

Steps to reproduce:

Visit https://app.codecrafters.io/courses/interpreter/overview. Click on one of the lessons, say 'Scanning: Empty file'.

Actual results:

The page navigates to the target of the link (Github signin - I wasn't signed in got Github, FWIW), as expected. But the back button is disabled, so can't navigate back to the original page.

Expected results:

Back button shouldn't have been disabled.

FWIW, I tried the reproducing steps on Chromium. The back button is remain enabled even after clicking the link.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::DOM: Navigation' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Component: Untriaged → DOM: Navigation
Product: Firefox → Core

I've been able to reproduce this on the latest nightly as well.
