Keeping tabs without refresh in Android? (lemm.ee)

I swear I saw something like this here on Lemmy but I can't find it.

I know android manages the RAM very differently than any desktop OS as it frees up RAM in order to have it available for other processes being third party or core ones.

I remember I saw something that you could fiddle with within the Firefox config page.

Or is it not possible on Android?

I'm using Firefox Nightly, because I think it is the only version that has a working pull to refresh.

See this bug that's been open for very long. At the bottom someone has a solution that may work. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1807364

Using Beta 114, I confirmed that setting dom.ipc.processPrelaunch.lowmem_mb to 0 MB fixes this issue which seems to happen when there's a memory pressure in the system

Actually this helped me to probably find where I even read about this bug lol.

Gonna test it out.
