Calling history.replaceState in data URI of an iframe causes error in Firefox and Edge

[dikow]

I'm submitting a ...

• regression from 1.7.0
• security issue
• issue caused by a new browser version
• other

Current behavior:
When I use AngularJS 1.7.8 + ng-table 3.0.1 in an iframe that was loaded via data URI, I get errors in Firefox (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) and Edge (SecurityError). This is caused by calling history.replaceState in line 6630 of angular.js.

Expected / new behavior:
You should only execute history.replaceState if the script is not loaded within a data URI:

if (!document.URL.startsWith('data:text/html')) {
    history[replace ? 'replaceState' : 'pushState'](state, '', url);
}

Minimal reproduction of the problem with instructions:
You can verify the different browser behavior with this demo:

AngularJS version: 1.7.8
Browser: Firefox 69, Edge 44

Anything else:

If this issue is still required to be solved I can work on it

Thx for stepping up, @Sayan-dev 👍
AngularJS (1.x) is in LTS mode, so I am afraid we are no longer accepting changes that are not critical bug fixes into this project. (See https://blog.angular.io/stable-angularjs-and-long-term-support-7e077635ee9c for more details.)
