It seems version 93 has introduced a method of reducing bandwidth by disconnect tabs from websites, but reconnects upon selecting the tab. This is causing havoc when I am logged into several websites. Sites tabs that do not have focus force me to log back in when selecting the tab.

I am not concerned in saving bandwidth.

How do I disable this feature?

Well, the feature seems to be called "unloading", to mitigate browser crashes. I never had a browser crash for low memory.

I think this is how to disable unloading:

about:config

browser.tabs.unloadOnLowMemory set to false

Any feedback is welcomed.
