Firefox is not staying in the background, not even for a minute. When I am just minimizing and returning to Firefox, it just reloads every tab, including the private tab. Any solution for this?

Android? Go into the system app settings and make sure any sort of battery optimization is turned off.

It will just keep reactivating battery optimization, at least it's what I see on Samsung.

You may have to whitelist it from the settings

Haha, well... It's a Samsung Galaxy from Android 10 era and, apparently, it has terrible Settings. Whenever I try to say "Don't optimize" on any app, it changes the label, but only for a brief moment, which effectively does not turn off any optimization.
