Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open any webpage, e.g. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/ .

  3. Click any link on webpage.
  4. After link is fully loaded click "Back" button on toolbar (or press Alt+Left Arrow key).

Nothing.

Expected results:

Browser should navigate to previous page. Forward navigation is not working either.
While in RDM mode right clicking navigation arrows and selecting any link from history is working.
When RDM is turned off back navigation works correctly.

Thanks for filing this issue! I believe this is a duplicate of Bug 1649537.

Right now the workaround is to set the preference devtools.responsive.browserUI.enabled to true in Firefox 78. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1649537#c6 for more background on this. It's important to note that Responsive Design Mode should be closed before setting this pref to true to avoid any unexpected behavior.

I'll mark this issue as a duplicate.
