I can't turn off the 'browser.tabs.unloadOnLowMemory'
I followed the instructions at [[Unload inactive tabs to save system memory in Firefox|https://mzl.la/3AdRbLx]] but I still occasionally see the tab refresh when I select it. I start with a search on Bing, click an article to open a tab, follow links from there, back to the first tab and select another. I repeat this until there are several tabs open. Sometimes the page refreshes when I switch back to one that I previously reviewed. Is that controlled by the option browser.tabs.unloadOnLowMemory? if so, it doesn't appear to be working. [Edit] - The last time this happened I checked my system and found 10gig used of 64gig installed. I'm using the most current version of FF 120.0.1 on Windows 11 Pro v 22H2.

That sounds more like the page refreshing itself or a GPU reset.
Does it still happen in Troubleshoot Mode?
Thanks @zeronight for the reply. I'll try using it in troubleshoot mode for a few days and see what happens (or doesn't happen).
I have been paying attention to how & when it happens and it appears to only refresh the page's content when I switch back to a tab with Bing search results. Unfortunately this is the worst one because then I sometimes lose results that I saw before but left for later! So the problem's not really solved, but I'm pretty confident it's not Firefox doing it.
See also the about:unloads page for info about the tabs.
