Hi.

Decided to start using Firefox on my nexus 5 not long ago, downloaded it and immediately encountered a problem: the app was eating too much of my battery. Firefox came second in battery consumption (after screen) and drained around 20-25% of my battery. Interestingly, the same app works just fine on my galaxy note 10.1. What can be causing the problem on nexus 5?
