i really need to PERMANENTLY DISABLE the infernal, default auto-refresh session on return to already opened tab. tyranny of the default on Android.

if/when i want to refresh that session, i'll do so MANUALLY.

i want this, not only in alpha, but beta & standard, too. so, it just can't be buried in about:config, which is nanny-state removed from standard. it must be exposed in UI Settings.

i'm not the first or only to request this.

Exactly wti0 So bloody annoying i am going to totally ditch Firefox and go back to Brave browser on cell. I don't use an Android or iPhone, is a Brax The annoying auto refresh DOES NOT occur on DuckDuckGo cell browser, or TOR browser. It NEVER happened on Brave

Firefox also don't have Qwant as a search engine option, as those other three do. No easy hit to bookmark, like Brave. No ads on Brave, Firefox doesn't block them...

Stuff you Firefox. Your browser is fuckin useless.
