Firefox has started refreshing pages if for eg when purchasing something and leaving to get bank details or approve purchase in bank app and then when return have to start the process all over and then the cycle starts again. It's become useless. Why does it do this and how can I stop it please? It didn't until recently. Thanks

Check the setup of Android Settings > Apps > Firefox > App Info > Battery usage.

Thanks. What exactly am I looking for in Battery attached screenshot please? And what and how do I need to change to fix the refreshing automatically issue?

This is Power usage. Either I have a different android version or you went into a different place. Try to search for Android Settings > Apps > Firefox > App Info > Battery.

Ah you mean battery saver? I should choose no restrictions? I'm not using Firefox Nightly if that makes a difference? Thanks

That's right. It was working for some users.

It doesn't matter, what Firefox version is it.

Not for me. Still every time I go back to a tab it refreshes. Have to find a new browser. Shame as it's been great until now. Now it's useless. Really wanted a browser with address bar at bottom too. Chrome and Mi Browser just aren't as good. Have to find another browser with address bar at bottom.
