Hello. I have bq Aquaris E5 HD Ubuntu Edition OTA-12. I have opened only a browser app with 3 tabs. 1) this launchpad page 2) http://jisho.org/search/bug 3) https://translate.google.com/m/translate#en/sk/insect%3B bug%3B cricket%3B moth%3B worm and when I switch between the opened tabs, they are mostly reloaded, like every second tab switch. One time (when I counted the reload ratio) the browser even froze and a relaunch (close, open) was needed. I hope this helps a little, cause the reloads are annoying (even more if on slow bandwidth). thanks

Turns out that's not possible because the router's webinterface uses popups to ask the user for selecting something. The popups are opened as new tabs. When I switch to them, and then click on the selection the popup closes again and I end up on the original page, however, the page reloads and all the previous state is lost. => The webbrowser should not reload the page when switching to a tab. (I presume the reason is that it actually unloads the page as soon as one switches away in order to save some memory, but still this is too intrusive. It will break too much and needs to be turned off again - It kinda makes the webbrowser useless as it is right now.)
