Public bug reported:
today I wanted to configure a WiFi router with the Ubuntu browser. Turns
out that's not possible because the router's webinterface uses popups to
ask the user for selecting something. The popups are opened as new tabs.
When I switch to them, and then click on the selection the popup closes
again and I end up on the original page, however, the page reloads and
all the previous state is lost.
=> The webbrowser should not reload the page when switching to a tab.
(I presume the reason is that it actually unloads the page as soon as
one switches away in order to save some memory, but still this is too
intrusive. It will break too much and needs to be turned off again - It
kinda makes the webbrowser useless as it is right now.)
