Hello stake2,

This sounds like one of the new features that came with the update to Firefox 67.0 :

See under "New" - suspending unused tabs

And also :

If you want to disable this feature :

Type in the address bar about:config and press Enter (promise to be careful, if asked)

Type in the search bar and look for the preference :

browser.tabs.unloadOnLowMemory

and set its value to false

Then close and restart Firefox.
