Hi, how disable auto refresh on firefox app in android? If I have an opened page in firefox, I swich to another app, and swich back to firefox page, this firefox page autorefresh, and I need to scroll again, search where I was before swiching. It is possible to disable this option, autorefeesh, for keeping page at swiching in apps. If I am offline, and open an firefox page, this page will be lost...is no good.

Thank you

This is not an option. This is a bug. Devs are looking into it. For now you can check the setup of Android Settings > Apps > Firefox > App Info > Battery. Switching to No restrictions or to Restrict background apps could help.
