Cranky again about how Android randomly reserves the right to kill applications for power management or its own inscrutable reasons, even if you have power management settings for the app set to "unrestricted".

So every time I open firefox it's a 50/50 shot whether my incognito tabs from my last browsing session (my default browsing mode to minimize leaving residue in history etc) are there or not.

On a desktop OS, apps randomly being terminated for no reason would be a sev1 issue. On mobile, it's just expected.

@azonenberg i know this doesnt help u on android, but for all its other faults, this is one thing that ios safari seems to handle reasonably: incognito tabs get the url preserved and reloaded (session info gets lost) even if the tabs get temporary unloaded from memory usage elsewhere, which feels like the right balance in terms of actual usability
