Firefox Tabs simultaneous webpages tabs/graphics download problem - how to fix?

more options

It seems the default setup of Firefox 103 will only enable multiple graphics displayed on a single webpage to display for 1 Tab at a time.

Even though multiple webpage Tabs are open, the default Firefox setup now seems to only open graphics for the single Tab that is selected. Other Tabs' graphics are not simultaneously downloaded unless each individual Tab is re-selected and reloaded. Switching to another Tab during a graphics display refresh causes any further graphics download to stop. Some display graphics on lower lower parts of the webpage seem to stop displaying or downloading when I try to scroll down the Duckduckgo or Google graphics choices that re displayed. As a result, I may have to refresh a screen several times to see the catalog selection of graphics that are displayed.

Firefox for Windows is my preferred and chosen Web Browser. I had to install Win10 Pro and Firefox as new installs (no settings migration) within the past several months due to a hard drive failure/upgrade. These simultaneous Tabs graphics display downloads worked OK from a modified Firefox setup since several years ago, but I don't recall which Firefox settings I had to change, nor how I changed them. Since the recent full reinstall, I have modified a Firefox setting that enables the selected Tab to constantly display/download graphics that I scroll down to view.

I am currently using Firefox 103 with 32-bit Windows 10 Pro (all with the latest updates) and HTTPS Private Access to view JPG business graphics logos with the most recent Duckduckgo add-on. We have high-speed cable modem/wireless access and do not have any concerns about bandwidth usage or speed. This problem with simultaneous graphics display/download for multiple Tabs occurs regardless if I have Duckduckgo or Google selected or if they are turned off.

How should I proceed to adjust Firefox settings to re-enable simultaneous graphics displays/downloads for multiple open Tabs?

It seems to me I need to adjust or install the following Firefox settings and/or 3rd party extensions: 1.) Do I need to extend the webpage graphics download time allowed if graphics displayed on one Tab are slowing the display/download of other Tabs?

2.) Do I need to change any Microsoft Win10 Pro or Microsoft Edge settings that may be affecting Firefox's ability to display/download multiple Tabs at the same time?

3.) Which settings mods Firefox with Duckduckgo's VPN, HTTPS required, and private windows use causing unexpected limits on the simultaneous display/download of webpage graphics?

4.) Is there public freeware available that I should install that will re-enable simultaneous webpage graphics to download/display at the same time on multiple Firefox Tabs?

The main issue is with the results pages on image search sites?

What is the setting you changed?

I don't think the scripts that autoload new images into these pages should stop running when you switch tabs, but that might be happening. Sites may use different strategies for conserving server bandwidth, and Firefox may use different strategies to conserve/allocate memory.
