<p dir="auto">I just restarted Firefox twice, I stayed signed in, and notes stayed enabled so there must be a difference between the docs and the reality of that "as long as the browser is open".</p>
<p dir="auto">So that <code class="notranslate">_osm_location</code> contains both the location and the open layers? And that gets overridden when I navigate to a new URL with a <code class="notranslate">#</code>? I think I've found the issue.</p>
<p dir="auto">I often use OSM Smart Menu to switch between OSM, Mapillary, FHDOT and Survey Me. That sets the location in the url, but not any layers that were active.</p>
