Research direction

Reproduce the issue in the MetaMask browser extension using the listed Send and confirmation flow, then trace the reopened popup's confirmation view and back-button state. Done means the back button works after closing and reopening the extension popup, while preserving the existing send flow; verify the behavior in Brave on macOS.
