[Bug]: Navigation interrupted by another navigation when launching from persistent context for second time

Version

1.60.0

Steps to reproduce

1. Clone my repo at https://github.com/fwdekker-pc/playwright_python_navigation_interrupted_by_another_navigation_at_second_launch
2. Run

   uv sync
   

3. Run

   # EITHER
   uv run playwright install firefox
   # OR
   PLAYWRIGHT_SKIP_BROWSER_GC=1 uv run playwright install firefox
   # OR
   $env:PLAYWRIGHT_SKIP_BROWSER_GC=1 ; uv run playwright install firefox
   

4. Ensure the directory profile does not exist:

   # EITHER
   rm -r profile
   # OR
   remove-item -recurse profile
   

5. Run

   uv run -m playwright_python_navigation_interrupted_by_another_navigation_at_second_launch
   

   The browser will launch and then close again.
6. Repeat step 5.

Expected behavior

In both step 5 and step 6, the browser should launch, and after launching is complete, explicitly navigate to about:blank. After all, the main body is:

context = await p.firefox.launch_persistent_context("profile", headless=False)
await context.pages[0].goto("about:blank")

Since we're using a persistent context, the profile should be reused when launching again in step 6.

The output of step 6 should be the same as that of step 5, namely: nothing.

Actual behavior

Step 5 runs as intended. However, during step 6, an error is raised with the following message:

Page.goto: Navigation to "about:blank" is interrupted by another navigation to "about:blank"
