FF Android closes by itself

If I leave FF in the background while looking at other apps for more than five minutes, it will just shut down on its own and close all the tabs. When I come back to it, it opens a random previously-closed tab and not any of the ones I had open when it decided to close. This is a fresh install of FF after a recent factory reset and it was doing this BEFORE I reset the phone. This is a massive nuisance.

I should mention, I'm listening to a streaming radio station through FF in case it's some data wall or flash issue.

This isnt a firefox problem but a problem with your device, android is closing apps in background when it needs the ram, if your device has either mot enough ram or a bad ram management it will close any app in background if you open another one.
