Settings show wrong value (no JS)

Have firefox with no JS (linux, strict privacy settings)
Go to https://kagi.com/html/settings?p=search
Change "Search suggestions" to the other value
Reload the page
The "search suggestions" stays on the changed value <--- issue
Click appearances and search again, notice that now it does show the correct value

The "search suggestions" would show the actually set value after reload

Believe this is intentional behavior on Firefox's end. It tries to preserve the data you've entered into forms when you refresh the page. Toggle switches are HTML checkboxes under the hood.

With JS enabled, clicking a toggle switch saves the new state immediately, so you don't encounter this behavior with toggles when JS is enabled, but you do run into it elsewhere:

Use Firefox - JS enabled or disabled, it doesn't matter
Go to https://kagi.com/settings?p=custom_css
Change something in one of the text boxes; don't save
Refresh the page
Text box keeps its value
Click Appearance link, click Custom CSS > Change link to navigate back to /settings?p=custom_css, notice it shows the old value again

(Note to anyone trying to repro in the future: These steps don't work when I block JS through uBlock Origin but they do work when I set javascript.enabled to false in about:config. I'm sure there's a perfectly reasonable explanation for why it works that way, but I have yet to find out what it is.)
