I'd have thought background tab would be written to it's domain-partitioned bit of the cache before being unloaded. I'm very surprised you lose the current state. To be honest, that sounds like a bug.


Tab unloading is by design. The difference is that it happens more often on low-memory devices. I use Chrome, but it looks like they all do it:
