Firefox is so shit on mobile that it reloads every time I switch to other apps. I once tried to fill up a very long form, and when I tried to look up some information on my notepad app, I switched back to ff it reloaded and all my progress was erased.

It's a bug that has existed for years, and they never bother to fix it.

So I switched to chrome + adblocking DNS on my phone and pc and I never looked back.

edit: Lemmy is becoming circlejerky like Reddit who would have thought. Facts downvoted have you guys even visited the link above it's a widespread issue. My phone is 8gb sd855+ with battery optimization disabled for FF mobile app. This is why I rarely engage.

It happened to me when I still used and old Moto g7 play with only 200mb free of ram so the phone needed to kill it it in order to load the other app, making Firefox "refresh" itself.

But that's the only time it happened to me.

I mean yeah but my phone is 8gb ad855+ and battery optimization disabled but is still reloading. It's a widespread issue visit the link above or try googling it.

I remember encountering this issue before I switxhed to a more powerful one that can run multiple apps in parralel (split screen)

I didnt think it still existed now, but following the bug tracker, did you do the dom.ipc.processPrelaunch.lowmem_mb modification? I am quite curious
