Research direction

Start with the reproduction repository at https://github.com/stefanprobst/issue-rac-next-link-bfcache-firefox, then run pnpm install, pnpm build, and pnpm start in Firefox. Follow the listed navigation steps and compare behavior after browser Back; done means the links in section 2 navigate normally after returning from the external site.
