How do I get Safari to stop reloading web pages on me? I am not manually asking for a reload. I am opening links into a new tab, and when I return to the other tab, it's blank and reloads as if I just opened it for the first time. This is annoying at best, and when trying to use, say, Facebook, it completely screws things up because I can be a dozen articles down the newsfeed, and suddenly find myself back at the top and becuase F&^%$ Facebook re-orders the newsfeed every time a new comment is registered, I've now completely lost my place.

Facebook is merely the worst example, it happens everywhere. If I'm on cellular, that means that the page reload is now doubling or trippeling the data usage for the page.
