Firefox reloads when switching to it from other app.

more options

Hello there,

This is about firefox automatically reloading/refreshing tab when you move to firefox from other application.

For example, when you want to input multiple values from other app to a web form, what I do is open the web page and copy value from email or any other app and piste it n Firefox.

The problem aides when I need to copy multiple values from other app.

As whenever we move from other app to Firefox, it reloads the tab and previously entered value is lost.

Any setting to solve this?

Thanks.

I had this problem on my old Gingerbread device (HTC EVO Shift), but since getting a new device with a lot more memory, it no longer happens. I hope someone can help you find a solution for your device.
