I have Background App Refresh disabled system-wide. Yet, the Firefox app managed to get a whopping 8.6 hours of Background App Refresh activity... and eat up a significant chunk of my battery charge in the process. It even used more battery than the Safari app, even though I barely used the Firefox app. Firefox is NOT respecting (and iOS is obviously not correctly enforcing) the Background App Refresh setting.
The Firefox app earned a swift deletion from my iPhone. I may give it a second chance in the future, when Apple and Mozilla have gotten a chance to resolve this Background App Refresh issue.
Attached are two screenshots. The first is my Background App Refresh screen, which shows I have Background App Refresh disabled in its entirety, and the second, my main Battery screen, which shows the excessive amount of battery charge used by Firefox's "Background App Refresh." This is a glaring breach in battery protocol by the Firefox app... and disappointingly, iOS allowed it to happen.
