1853557 - All pages unload immediately after leaving Firefox

Status: NEW

(Firefox for Android :: Tabs, defect, P2)

Description

[jeremyspianopenguin]

Steps to reproduce:

Open a web page; go to home screen and open another app; reopen Firefox.

Actual results:

The page reloads, losing progress. In my case, this makes online payment on mobile impossible: after entering card details into the website, I open a banking app to authorise the payment. Upon returning to the website the page has reloaded and lost all progress in the payment.

Expected results:

The page should stay loaded for a short period of time (1 minute to 5 minutes, ideally configurable by user).

Hi, I tried a few times these past days, with different devices, and I found out that I couldn't reproduce it reliably, the behavior seems to be the same as on Chrome or Samsung browser, which accessed after a while or after accessing other apps, sometimes refreshes.
So the steps would be:

1. Have a few apps in the background.
2. Open a page on Firefox.
3. Go to another app, interact with it.
4. Go back to Fenix.

While I didn't manage to get the adb log, my colleague managed to record the issue.

after years of using firefox on android, this bug (and a few others not getting fixed) made me switch to vivaldi

I also was so disappointed by the inability to solve this very critical then I switched to Kiwi Browser, chromium based.
Soooo pissed off by Mozilla

Of course if they happen to care solve it, I'll happily switch back.to Firefox
