The issue where Firefox on Android does apparent background restarts is still occurring in the most recent release builds.
This was first discussed in the now archived topic https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1379604
It is 100% reproducible. Steps:
1. Go to https://www.theguardian.com/uk 2. Open in background tab one or two internal links to stories in that website 3. Firefox is hang for e.g. 40s then reloads from scratch all open tabs including to other sites 4. The device will behave as if it was recently restarted with all other apps doing UI refresh activity when you next access them
The repro steps are truly simple.
Should we raise this as an iss with the website instead? e.g. Chrome does not and never has had a problem like this on that website.
Cheers,
