[OliverSpeir]

Reproduction repo: https://github.com/florian-lefebvre/astro-vt-fallback-bug
Reproduction on deployed site: https://astro-vt-fallback-bug.pages.dev/

• Partytown breaks VT fallback withastro/astro#8862
• Potentially relevant [🐞] GA4 is not working properly for Partytown with Astro  #457

Best description so far:

Using a build of partytown with minification turned off pointed me to a single line.

Partytown patches the History API, and its code runs whenever the History API is used. It seems like an issue for Firefox to fix, although Partytown may be able to remove this hacky code. Astro's usage of history API is necessary and proper.
