Describe the bug

1: Ensure that a working Invidious instance (there have been problems with some of them recently, though not currently with the one I tested) is enabled in the settings menu (in my case this was tested with inv.tux.pizza) 2: Go to a video, or from a search page, enter a new search query 3: Press the back button 4: FreeTube infinitely hangs on the loading animation screen instead of returning to the previous page

The issue also appears to occur when pressing the forward button

The problem does not seem to occur with FreeTube's own subscriptions homepage, which does reload normally when pressing the back button.

Expected Behavior

The previous/next page you were on, eg: search results or a video, should reload normally.
