Next.js: 8.0.4 weird issue with firefox & query parameters in the url

[probablyup]

Bug report

there seems to be a regression in 8.0.4 specifically for newer versions of Firefox relating to next/router code

Describe the bug

when landing on a page that contains query parameters, the browser becomes "locked" to that page and programmatically or manually navigating to a different same-domain page insta-redirects back to the original. note that this does not start happening until a query parameter is involved in the url, totally bizarre

System information

• OS: macOS
• Browser (if applies) firefox 66
• Version of Next.js: 8.0.4

Additional context

Downgrading to 8.0.3 fixes this issue, so it's definitely something in nextjs. The two ways my (private) project moves between pages is typical anchor links and using window.location.assign.

Probably related to #3817 and #6630

[probablyup]

Yeah #6630 looks to probably be it. Can we revert?

[ijjk]

It has been reverted, thanks for the info 👍

@Timer @ijjk @timneutkens folks, when about are you planning to release the next stable version? If it's still at least a few days away, WDYT of marking next 8.0.3 on npm as latest instead of 8.0.4? Otherwise, lot of folks are downloading a version that has a pretty serios issue on FF, one of the most popular browsers 😬

@kachkaev we're using 8.0.3 on a project and got the same issue - but i'm with you, that this issue is serious

[timneutkens]

Released in 8.1

It would be nice to have this revert with on a 8.0.5 version since moving to version 8.1 has some problems with IOS9 :(
