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.

I've only had that happen on some websites, most don't seem to do it. So maybe it only unloads heavier pages?

That said, most of the time my password manager, Bitwarden, will prompt to auto fill on web pages so it's not an issue. So I don't run into this issue all that often, surely not enough to warrant switching browsers, especially when I value Firefox features like tab sync.
