It's possible Firefox already does that via its enabled-by-default tracking protection. At least I don't seem to have an issue with the back button here.

Your browsing history usually expires after some time (in Firefox anyway, haven't checked other browsers but they'll likely do something similar). If you want to keep something long-term, better bookmark it. You can just bookmark
