 === Environment

 - OS: macOS
 - Web Server: nginx
 - PHP: 7.4
 - WordPress: 6.6 `trunk` with the patch applied
 - Browser: Firefox 126.0
 - Theme: default
 - Plugins: See above.

 === Notes

 My workflow in these tests:

 I did not retest on 6.4.4 or 6.5.4, as I already did those baselines in
 [#comment:21 previous test report].

 Tested 6.6 with the PR applied:
 1. Navigated to the Add Plugins UI.
 2. Typed the name of the plugin the search box.
 3. Install > Activate using the plugin's card.
 4. After redirect to plugin's experience, clicked the browser's Go Back
 button, which returned me to the Add Plugins UI screen.
 5. Clicked the Go Back again to return to the `plugins.php` screen.
 6. Deactivated the plugin.
 7. Activated the plugin.
 8. After redirect to plugin's experience, clicked the browser's Go Back
 button, which returned me to `plugins.php` screen.
 9. Deactivated the plugin.
 10. Clicked the "View details" click.
 11. Activated the plugin in the modal.
 12. After redirect to plugin's experience, clicked the browser's Go Back
 button, which returned me to `plugins.php` screen.
 13. Deactivated the plugin.
 14. Navigated to the Add Plugins UI.
 15. Searched again for the plugin.
 16. In the plugin's card, clicked the "View Details" click.
 17. In the modal, clicked the Activate button.
 18. After redirect to plugin's experience, clicked the browser's Go Back
 button, which returned me to Add Plugins UI screen.
 19. Clicked Go Back again to return to `plugins.php` screen.
 20. Deactivated and deleted the plugin.

 === Actual Results for Test 2: a plugin with autoredirect but no
 dependencies

 For all 4 workflows:

 * ✅ After activation, the plugin's setup wizard should load.
 * ✅ In your browser, using its "Go back" arrow or button should (in one-
 click) return you to the Add Plugins UI.
 * ✅ Upon returning to the Add Plugins UI, the plugin's status should show
 Active.
