Android ver. of Firefox kills Youtube (Premium) and Youtube Music (Premium) run in background
I have only 4GB RAM and that can be an additional factor that causes this issue. When I listen to Youtube Premium in the background (with video window hidden) and switch to Firefox, Youtube Android App is killed. Same thing happen with Youtube Music from time to time. For Youtube, I can workarund this issue by keeping video in Picture-in-Picture (PIP) mode.

In my experience It's 100% the fact your phone has 4 gigs of ram. From my experience anything with less than 6 gigs is going to have issues with simple android functions even chugging to run the operating system at times, they're practically a scam and you can find 6 gigs phones under $100usd

Thank you for your response. It seems that the issue was indeed related to the 4GB of RAM and was not specific to Firefox; it occurred in other applications as well, such as Aliexpress and ReadERA.
The solution on my Samsung Galaxy Tab Active3 was disabling the RAM+ option, which is a virtual memory (SWAP) feature on Samsung devices. This was quite surprising, as enabling swap is generally expected to help with multitasking rather than hinder it.
I hope this helps others who might be experiencing the same issue.
