Hello people! Why is Mozilla Firefox 83.1.0 closing open tabs in the background? There is no shortage of memory - the phone is new and the memory is still almost empty. On another older phone with nearly full memory, Firefox 68.1 doesn't do that! Please tell me how to solve the problem?.. Thanks in advance! )

Hi

In the Firefox for Android menu under Settings and Tabs, do you have Firefox for Android set to close tabs after a set period of time?

Hello! No. The mode is set to "Close tabs" = Manual. I've already figured it out. The "fault" is not MF (Mozilla Firefox), but the VIVO phone. On the SAMSUNG phone, the same version of MF (83.1.0) does not close any tabs "arbitrarily". Thanks for trying to help! ) My best wishes!
