Q: Google Chat become inactive

At the end of last week, after updating my operating system to OS X10.11.6, the gmail chat disconnects after a few minutes of inactivity when using Safari. Every time that I go back to the tab, the chat becomes disconnected (But if the tab is not the one that is "active", the chat disconnects). Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, is there a fix that has been successful?

MacBook Air (13-inch Mid 2012), iOS 10

The inactivity does not happen on the Firefox browser, only on the Safari browser. If I have Gchat open in two windows and inactive for the same amount of time, it is only the Safari browser that has disconnected Gchat.
(My apologies for not including that information in the original post!)
