inactivate on Firefox for Android?

If I have tabs open on Firefox for Android and but am actively using another tab or another app, Firefox automatically unloads the unused tabs. How to disable this?

That's the fun part...You don't!~

Thanks for the info. That's so fun indeed 😢👍

I'd love to learn this as well.

Let me know if you find out.

See https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/browser/tabunloader/

I created and set browser.tabs.unloadOnLowMemory to false on Firefox Nightly for Android but still didn't work, tabs still unload.

I assume it's a feature to prevent Android's memory management from forcefully killing Firefox... for me the tabs don't unload, but they behave as if the JS running inside them has been frozen/paused.

Maybe installing those tabs as apps via Firefox's menu will bypass this
