Tabs are constantly loading for first time when switching back

I have various tabs open, including Gmail. Often when I switch back to the Gmail tab, it sits there loading the entire page like I just opened it. Very frustrating, as it's not a fast load. It doesn't do this in Chrome. How can I fix this?

I get around this by; Right click the link and select "Open In New Tab/Window." Once I am done, close the others and return to the original page. Note: Some web pages auto update themselves.

I'm not really sure what you mean. I'm not opening new pages. I'm just sitting there with like 5 tabs open, on say another website, then I go back to my Gmail tab that was open and it has to load the entire page from scratch even though the tab was open for like 2 hours.

Well yes, Gmail updates but dynamically. It doesn't hard refresh the page (certainly didn't do it in Chrome). For example, if a new email comes in it just will show up. It doesn't need to refresh the page.

So the issue seems like with Firefox still, hard refreshing the page on another tab.
