In the coming months Mozilla will launch support for an open ecosystem of extensions on Firefox for Android on addons.mozilla.org (AMO). We’ll announce a definite ...
I use FF on android for a couple months now. Solid browser and sync to desktop and add blocker are nice.
BUT: their page reloading is far too aggressive. You can’t buy anything online, since once 2FA is required and you need to open your bank app, confirm, and switch back, the page reloads and the 2FA didn’t get through. Tickets and such are the only reason I have still chrome installed.
I’m not experiencing that issue either and I have half the amount of RAM that you do. I’ve noticed an unnecessary autorefresh only after closing out of the browser for a long time, never in the middle of switching between apps. But, that does sound like annoying behavior.

This annoyed me too. I use Firefox Nightly with

I feel this pain. But you try to stop a video that started playing in Firefox. I dare you.
Its in notification with background play lol
Yes but a video should stop if you swipe away the apps card from multitasking view. This action is tantamount to closing the app.
Mine stop maybe because i have background battery restriction/autostart prevention. Not sure tho
Strange. I’ll look into those settings. Thanks
