Trying to scan from my a53 to pair things up and it keeps thinking I used my phones camera despite using the button in the app from the url bar on android. Just like it says to do here. I can't for the life of figure out why it thinks I'm using the camera when I only did that once then figured out to use the app(really wish it was also in the menu next to the tab count as well....).

High power consumption in Android

Firefox is using an awful lot of power. Currently with no tabs open it's using 38% against Chrome's 13% and I've had 45% earlier today. I've never checked apps for power consumption previously so that might be normal, but it sure looks like heavy usage. With 6 tabs open, Samsung Internet browser is using 1%.

It's the same for both browsers after a restart. It's an Honor 8A phone, Android 9. I re-installed FF and it's version 101.1.1 When I re-installed FF it was initially only 18% but its gone up and stayed up.

There are settings under App Launch to manage app launch automatically to save battery power by preventing some launches, but it doesn't affect things.

At one point I thought the problem was synchronisation with my FF account, but I just signed out of both FF account and also Youtube, restarted, just the same. When I signed into Youtube in Samsung internet browser it went up to 1.14%

ADDED LATER. I left the phone on and charging overnight. In the morning FF was 9% while Chrome and Samsung browser didn't even appear in the battery useage listing. As soon as I opened a couple of pages in FF, it shot up to 48%.

What else can I check? Is there anything I can do? The Honor battery only just gets through the day anyway, so this is a problem.

Many thanks.

I have to be honest with you guys, this is something completely new to me. But as I said before, I want to learn and maybe if you approve my human talents I could be a part of your team.

The reason I am here is because I am worried about the insecurity on internet. I have been using it for years but now I realize every single person is vulnerable. I honestly did not know how easy they can steal your information from your computers, or any device you use to surf on the web. And that is not right. I think that situation has to change and if there is any way I could help to generate a change i am here.
