If it did not for you, you have non-standard settings like disabled caching. I can assure you that it behaves the same on Firefox for Linux, Windows, macOS and Safari on iOS: go back, form content is restored. In fact, the entire internet is full of people trying to get rid of this behavior.

I don't have non-standard browser settings. I watched the form submit in the debugger. It responds with a 302 to the GET request.
