Strange behavior in online reader too

[doppler]

Maybe related to: https://mangadex.org/thread/164865

Online reader:
1. Start reading a chapter. @ page #1
2. Click on the root page of series. Near upper right. Tittle of series.
3. @ root page of series.
4. Scroll down and click on comment for series.
5. @ Comment page for series.
6. Make or read comments (does not matter).
7. Browser back until back to page #1 of chapter. From step 1.

You are now presented with a half grey page with a huge spinning circle. Browser back
does not work. Only a page refresh will reset fault. FF safe mode tried (same-o-same-o).

So now we got a mini-me spinning circle (search browser back step) and a new big spinning circle.
I can get the same results on my phone FF.

Speculation from the programmer in me:
Can the problem be related to the cache ? The last cached content in search function prior
to automatic loading of results was a spinning circle. Not sure how HTML works but a forced
reload is needed on browser back to any root page (re: chapter/comment/website main). Or
a save point restored on browser back to push pass (wait widgets).

** Edit: Steps 4,5 and 6 maybe eliminated. Same defect results.

Little more info. FF V69 came out. No change.

Info: From new stuff chapter release page. If I click Mangadex homepage Icon and browser back problem is not present.

I've had that issue for a while now. Whenever I'd browser back button from comments (from reader, to comments, and back) I'd get the loading circle. Refresh doesn't work for me. I have to go to the series page and go from there.

@Samhill

Just refresh the page it's faster. And it works like normal until you go astray.

 

[Samhill]

@doppler Huh, it worked. I could've sworn it didn't before.

@AbyssalMonkey @Samhill

Test it out, looks like this bug got fixed. The search box is still a problem.
One down, one to go.

 

[Samhill]

@doppler It's good.

 

[Teasday]

It was fixed? But I don't think I did anything

All this sounded like the bfcache issue I wrote a fix for a good while ago but... did I just never make the update? ffs

In case you're curious, look up

window.onunload

What ever made it work, happen on the board. Firefox even tho was recently updated to V69.
Would not explain why my raspberry pi FF works now too. The PI version of FF has not changed
for a long time. It's still V59esr.

I am not going to look a gift horse in the mouth. I will take it and run with it.
