Firefox is reloading content whenever switching between ravs

I'm running Firefox Beta for Android 104.0b7 (Build #2015898507), e305d4cd2+ AC: 104.0.7, cc0e6a515c GV: 104.0-20220816121120 AS: 93.7.2

Whenever I switch between tabs it appears as though Firefox is reloading page content from the server. Not only is this annoyingly slow but it makes it near impossible to copy information from one website to another.

Example: I have all my passwords stored in the secure password app on my nextcloud server. I access a website like usnews.com chose to login via their web page, open a new tab to load my nextcloud, find usnews.com and copy my username, change tab again, us news returns to original page and I have to chose login again, and I paste my username, return to nextcloud tab, usnews.com isn't nopen I have to search again to find it and then copy my password, change tab back to usnews again the page is reloaded and I have to chose login again, and my username has been lost so pasting my password does not help much.

Is this a bug? If so how can I help capture data to assist with its resolution? If reloading is a feature, is there something I can do to disable it?
