After the last few times I updated Firefox (Win11), it broke the back and forward buttons respectively (mouse), but inconsistently. The address bar changes, but the page gets stuck.

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:147.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/147.0

Steps to reproduce:

It doesn't happen every time, but when it does happen, I can keep hitting the back and forward buttons on my mouse and the only thing that changes is the address bar (URL). The page itself doesn't change till I hit refresh.

Actual results:

It frequently stops switching pages. The address bar changes, but the page gets stuck.

Expected results:

Back goes to previous page.
Forward goes to next page.

Side Note: This is not restricted to a single site.
I've had it happen on Crunchyroll, Reddit, YouTube, Amazon, and many other sites.

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

Component: Untriaged → Address Bar

Tried setting widget.windows.windowsappsdk.enabled to false, but it's still happening.

Also, I have Hardware acceleration off.

Clicking back/forward should change the URL so the address bar changing makes sense, but if the page is stuck then maybe an issue with docshell / the browsing context? Maybe a person with more knowledge of navigation code could help here.
