Firefox Mobile Tabs Constantly Refresh

The Firefox browser app for android for the last year or so refreshes tabs if I leave them for even a moment. If I go to another tab and then back, they both refresh even if it's just been a minute. If I leave Firefox (with the window open) to check another app and then go back, the tab I had open refreshes.

I can't fill out a lot of forms unless I don't leave the tab the entire time, I can't log into a lot of sites with two-factor authentication because leaving Firefox to check my emails or texts for the codes makes the log-in page refresh, and I can't even upload pictures to other sites because the tab refreshes when I open my gallery or camera.

It's not specific to any site, it is an issue with the tabs and I've been waiting for a fix to it for over a year. I know it's not just me, I've tried clearing my cache and looking in the settings for a solution and I've seen a lot of other people talk about it too. This wasn't an issue when I originally installed the app, it only became a problem after an update.
