Interesting is this because of background tab cache eviction?

It is because of a "bug"?

Quote:
Some people reported problems with the network detection code, i.e. for them, Firefox would detect the phone as offline even when it wasn't, leading to being unable to load anything other than the cached version of previously visited pages. Hence it was turned off on the Release version again, and never turned back on since nobody ever found the time to investigate what had actually happened for those users (some Android bug, some bug in Firefox's code, ...?).

I have not looked for the bug report. This is what i found after a half-hour of google searching.

Looks like it is a bug, have added a note to the calibre user manual about it.
