Thought-provoking stories - Lost when reading one and coming back

[bellyman69]

Starting the app and seeing the stories is a nice feature and often I click the stories to read. However, there is a flaw - unless you right-click "open in tab" you lose some or all of the stories. For example story X - I read but I want to also read Y. I click X to read it then BACK and story Y tile, is gone.

I have found cases where the tiles appear - good stories, read one, back - all are different. Then other times one or two tiles are changed.

Very frustrating - long standing. Intuitively I just don't right-click open in new tab. A better model would be to have a forced 'REFRESH STORIES' at the top. Present whatever the stories are for whatever period - but do not change them that session until I click REFRESH link.

PS Refresh is NOT 'F5'/CTRL-R but a specific button on the top of the Thought-provoking stories page.

Hi @bellyman69,

Good observation — this behavior happens because the story feed refreshes dynamically each time you navigate back, which can cause tiles to reshuffle or reload with new content.

A simple fix would be for Mozilla to cache the current story set during the active session and only refresh when the user clicks a “Refresh Stories” button (as you suggested). This would preserve continuity for readers exploring multiple stories.

Until then, right-clicking to open in a new tab is indeed the best workaround.
