page refreshes upon switching apps

So imagine your filling out a form online using firefox for android and you come across a question that you cant remember the answer to so you switch apps to check through your notes.

Upon finding the necessary info you switch back to firefox only for the page to refresh itself and for you to lose all your previous progress. Why???

I've also encountered this when paying for an item and i need to confirm the payment through my banking app. i go to the app, confirm the payment, switch back to firefox and the page refreshes and i have to start over!

Is it just me? Please fix this. It's the one thing that sucks about this otherwise great browser.

Hi

Have you tried using the split screen view in Android so that you can see both apps at the same time?

I have also found this issue when the screen timesout and locks. Upon unlocking the page refreshes which can mean I loose my place when scrolling and reading an article for example

I've been trying to login my Twitter account using Firefox for Android 113.2.0 (Build #2015952075) to save space on my Android smartphone. However, I'm unfortunately unable to login my Twitter due to Firefox for Android always automatically refresh Twitter's login page whenever I switch to Microsoft Authenticator unlock my Twitter account.

Please fix this Mozilla.
