Connections drop when screen is locked for a while

Using my ZTE Open C with updated FireFoxOS (official update from ZTE's website), when I lock the screen (manually, as I have it set not to auto-lock after a certain time), and leave it locked for a while, my connection (whether WiFi or mobile web) has dropped, and I have to wait for it to reconnect, sometimes requiring apps to be restarted. Mostly a problem because I use Loqui IM for some chat accounts, and I miss received messages when I have no connection.

This is normal behavior as once the screen is off, data connections will be disabled to prevent battery loss and over usage of data. I don't know any way of keeping the the connection to be 'stable'.

Fair enough, I was hoping maybe there would be a setting to turn it off (mostly for my IMing usecase). Maybe I'll drop a suggestion!
