I have an older samsung tab s 10.5, when the screen is off/locked, is the data/wifi disconnected?

Ex, if im on a website on network "A", turn thr screen off, then go to network "B", but dont turn on, does Firefox make a connection or use data on network "B"?

Hi

This is not an issue with Firefox for Android, but a control in the underlying Android operating system.

If you have mobile date or WiFi on and the screen off, there is still going to be data in use.
