  1. Open any website
  2. Switch to another app and do literally anything
  3. Go back to Firefox
  4. Tab reloads for ~5s and wipes all form data

Poco F3 6GB
MIUI 14.0.9
Fennec 121.1
Battery saver: No restrictions
"media.aboutwebrtc.auto_refresh" - False

I doubt ram is an issue as there is always at least 1.7GB free. This bug has been occuring or a long time. 3 years old reddit post about it

Can I fix it myself or should I wait for it to get patched? I dont know if this is appropriate place to post this, but I cant use github

I also have a PoCo F3 on MIUI, FF sucks like you said, but the worst is that sometimes it drains battery. Even if I force close it, there is a background task eating the battery.

For instance my phone is at 80% at 10PM, I go to bed, at 6AM it is at 40%, battery status says that 40% of the battery was taken by FF during the night.

@Frederic
I do have a rather old Sony Xperia 1 II and Firefox don't use that much battery. See the screen (I'm using this browser a lot) :
