The entire Apps state seems to be encoded in the URL, so each change also generates a completely new one. This breaks the state for me, I suppose Firefox doesn't like when you update the URL with every drag of a slider.

Breaking the back button isn’t necessary for this; all they need to do is call `history.replaceState()` instead of `history.pushState()`.
Thank you all for the feedback on this! I agree. It didn't seem like such an issue during development, but that was a misjudgement. Removed that functionality now. Should not add to history anymore (shareable URLs should still work).
