Firefox seems to be timing out
This past week I have noticed while using google workspace it seems as firefox will time out. This causes my gmail to show errors because it is not connected any longer. It also seems that when this does happen I can't do anything through the firefox browser such as search or browse the internet until I completely close and re-open firefox. I would like to know what I can do to resolve this issue. I have refreshed, uninstalled and reinstalled, and tried about:config settings that handle "timeouts". Please I need assistance asap with this issue.

Hi
What version of Android are you using on your device?
Do you have many other apps open?
This is not on an android device. This is happening across 2 windows 10 pro devices. 1 being a dell desktop and 1 being a laptop.
Is this with all websites/pages, some, a few?
Make sure you are not blocking content.

You can check the connection settings.
