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.
Install Always active Window (Always Visible) and see if it still happens.
See also the about:unloads page for info about the tabs.
