I think Alexey's point is that:
1 - There's well known, published ways to avoid Firefox's Page Cache
2 - In the wild (not with specialized test cases), many form-heavy sites *DO*
avoid the page cache in every major browser with the simple step of having an
unload handler.

So, yes - this is a real-world problem in Firefox as well.
