Keeping tabs without refresh in Android? (lemm.ee)

I swear I saw something like this here on Lemmy but I can't find it.

I know android manages the RAM very differently than any desktop OS as it frees up RAM in order to have it available for other processes being third party or core ones.

I remember I saw something that you could fiddle with within the Firefox config page.

Or is it not possible on Android?

I'm using Firefox Nightly, because I think it is the only version that has a working pull to refresh.

Yes yes I have exactly the same problem. Super annoying!

It's a shame because I really want to use Firefox. I'm sure this is partly aggressive memory management on Android, and maybe especially on MIUI (do you have a Xiaomi by any chance?) But none of the Chrome derivatives have this issue (Brave, Vivaldi, Privacy Browser all work fine for me)

Yeah got a Redmi Note 10 Pro. Brave and Chrome are fine indeed.
