My phone was unplugged from the charger overnight at about 70% battery. In the morning (after about 8 hours) it was at 45%. When I turned on my phone screen there was a popup saying fenix was overloading the system and gave me the option to close the app. Firefox was closed during the night.

Hi

Did you have WiFi or mobile data turned on?

What other apps or games have you installed on your device?

I had WiFi on. Well I have a lot of other apps installed. But popup said that firefox (specifically fenix) was using a lot of power. This issue only started happening recently. Also recently when I go out of firefox without closing it (like pressing the home key) and come back everything including the site I was at almost always reloads.

If you have been browsing the web a lot using Firefox, it will show as the most used app - same thing happens with me.
