Pages refresh & get stuck in Mobile view even when Desktop is specified
Using the latest version of Firefox on Android mobile – Huawei / EMUI 12.0.0.149 Normal browsing, not using Private.
Several tabs are open, all specified to show Desktop view. But when I re-open the browser (while it's still running in the background, e.g. if I'd been using a different app or just hadn't looked at the page in a few mins), pages automatically refresh in Mobile view.
Additionally, the "Desktop site" toggle can get stuck: Shows Desktop being on, but the page is in Mobile view and if the button is tapped again, it just keeps refreshing in Mobile. The whole app has to be restarted to fix it.
Ideally, open tabs would stay in the specified view (Desktop) and not refresh automatically. Bonus, if there were also a master toggle to select the view you prefer all tabs to use.

P.S. this is relevant - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1340183 Feature to permanently force Desktop site. But thread was from 2021 and looks like that feature never made it out of Nightly. Please consider it again?
Just found this post also; same issue in 2021, never fixed? https://support.mozilla.org/zh-CN/questions/1324851 "Unable to retain Tabs and 'Desktop site' option isn't retaining when switching to other Tabs or Apps"
