Reload issue
Hi Firefox Support Team,
I am experiencing an issue with Firefox on my Poco X7 Pro (HyperOS). Pages in tabs automatically reload when returning to the app after switching away, even after only ~1 minute. This happens despite all of the following:
- Battery optimization disabled (No restrictions) - Background activity allowed - App Lock enabled in Recent Apps - Tabs → Close inactive tabs = Never - Delete browsing data on quit = Off - Developer options → Background process limit = No limit - RAM Plus active (~12GB available)
In comparison, Chromium-based browsers like Vivaldi maintain tabs for hours on the same device without reload.
- Device:** Poco X7 Pro
- OS:** HyperOS (please add exact version / Build number)
- Firefox version:** (147.0.3, e.g., 125.0.1)
- RAM:** 12GB RAM plus active
- Steps to reproduce:**
1. Open Firefox and navigate to any web page. 2. Switch to another app or go to Home. 3. Wait approximately 1 minute. 4. Return to Firefox. 5. Observe that the page reloads and previous state (scroll position, forms, media) is lost.
- Expected behavior:** Tabs should retain their state unless the system completely kills the Firefox process.
- Actual behavior:** Pages reload automatically, even when the process is still in memory.
- Logs / Attachments:**
- adb logcat / bugreport (firefox_reload_log.txt or bugreport.zip) - Optional screen recording demonstrating the issue - Timestamps of occurrence for reference
Could you please advise if there is a recommended configuration for HyperOS/Poco devices, or if a workaround exists to improve tab persistence for Firefox (Gecko engine) under aggressive memory management?
Thank you for your help.
