I'm currently travelling and don't have the device with me. However,
this happened on the Meizu Pro 5 which is quite a memory biest and I did
not have any other tabs open. I most likely did have some other apps
running, but unlikely the 3GB of memory were completely filled up already.

I'll test again when I'm back home and have access to this AP again.

Title:
  Browser aggressively unloads background tabs, breaks popup-opening
  sites

Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  today I wanted to configure a WiFi router with the Ubuntu browser.
  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.)
