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.
Cannot reply to your question but there are more firefox versions and forks that support pull to refresh:
Mull (If your device screen supports more than 60Hz this one may feel choppy, because Firefox's Resist Fingerprinting setting limits the refresh rate to 60Hz since v102)
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
Yes. If I'm away long enough they might, but I've just switched back to Brave after about an hour away, and no refresh. Whereas Firefox would refresh every time I switched app, which made it unusable for me. E.g. enter username on a webpage, switch to password manager to copy password, switch back and Firefox reloads the page. Infuriating
