Firefox refusing to load tabs while pretending to have finished loading them, resulting in a blank tab

I was prompted by my phone to review Firefox, and on a whim wrote "Slightly annoying how it'll sometimes just refuse to load a page, at least on my old phone, but still my favorite browser" I received a "developer response" requesting that I ask a question in here to investigate further. Issue is, I just got a new phone, so the bug might not occur on this new one - it's not something that happens all that often, but it's my impression that it's something that'll happen if the Firefox app has laid dormant in the background of my phone for a long time and I tab back into it. It was always fixed with a quick restart. My old phone was a Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G, if that matters. Again, it *might* occur on this phone too, it just hasn't yet, I just can't say for sure, as it's not something that happens all that often, but still often enough to be a little annoying. I can't reproduce it on my old phone because every single pixel in the screen is dead, hence the new phone. So there's no way I could test it.
