I've just about given up using this browser as it's become less and less user friendly. I have spent a couple of hours searching the forums and online to find a way to BLOCK webpages from refreshing/reloading in Firefox for Android. Facebook etc.. I've searched geckoview and there is NO option for blocking this feature. the accessibility.blockautorefresh no longer exists and re-entering it does nothing. I've disabled every option possible and it doesn't do it. Battery consumption etc. There are no current extensions add-ons that work. I assume this was done to make the browser more favorable for site monetization but Firefox wasn't supposed to be geared towards that.

If anyone knows of a way to do this please please let me know. Otherwise I'm -><- away from deleting this app and just using Brave.

I'm not using Fenix, Night, or any of the other builds. This isn't when tabbing, it occurs even within the same tab while on a website like Facebook. It continually refreshes content real time

It's not auto refresh, it looks like a memory issue. So blocking auto refresh wouldn't help you. Try to close some unnecessary apps.
