Description

Describe the bug

My understanding is when a form remote function redirects, all queries should be invalidated by default. Ever since version 2.65.1 I've found that occasionally, in Firefox only (not Chrome/Safari), when I navigate from a list view to a new form, submit the form using a remote form function which redirects back to the list view, the list is not always updated. This only happens when there is another remote query in the layout (in my case, a requireUser query) that is shared across the list and new form routes. What happens is only the requireUser query is refreshed.

Likely introduced by https://github.com/sveltejs/kit/pull/16014 which is in the code path for refreshing queries after redirect and listed in the 2.65.1 changelog.

Research direction

Run the linked kit-refresh-issue reproduction in Firefox and Chrome, then inspect the redirect query-refreshing code path introduced by PR 16014 and the 2.65.1 changelog entry. Reproduce the case with a shared requireUser remote query; done means the list query refreshes after the remote form redirect in Firefox as it does in Chrome and Safari.
