I'm filing this issue for future reference -- we don't plan on making a workaround for this behavior.
On most browsers, reloading a Shiny application clears all input values and gives them the default values. With Firefox ESR, the browser will restore the previous input value when the page is reloaded, which can be surprising in some cases.
