Firefox is not staying in the background, not even for a minute. When I am just minimizing and returning to Firefox, it just reloads every tab, including the private tab. Any solution for this?

    It could be that you have too many other apps in the background, and Android is essentially freeing up memory for other processes. If you have too many tabs open this could also occur. You could also have your battery saving options too aggressive, which also clears data from background apps. I’d look up something like “how to keep Android from stopping apps in the background” or something similar.

    I’ve the same thing. This is a very old issue and it’s still not resolved. It seems Android prefers Chromium based browsers as it doesn’t happen there. I tried everything, nothing helped. So had to revert to Brave.

        Apparently something about the CEO. With Firefox not working properly and no support for adblockers on Chrome I don’t see any other alternative.

    This happens to me too, no matter how much free RAM I have, disabled battery optimizations, etc…

    Only Firefox does it, other browsers are fine.
