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.

The videos look blurry and it seems like a little zoom part can be seen from one corner of the video to zoom in more. The whole video is not controlled within the skin. Nothing in the video can be seen after playing the video due to problems. I have started the application by deleting it several times in a row. In the first case it stays good for a few days and then it causes problems in video play. After browsing all kinds of websites, the videos get blurry. Hopefully that will solve the problem.

My phone is Nokia X100 with android 11. CPU is 480 5G UFS 2.1 storage Ram is 6gb I already did some tweaks in about:config but it is still slow to load webpages especially going from one site to another site. Any flags recommended? I know there is the option to reduce animations but they split into many animations flags I just don't know which are supposed to be able to speed up the speed by disabling them. Please share your view

My tabs have been ballooning like crazy because of this. I like the feature firefox has to resume browsing where you left off, however, it's been very frustrating to manage lately because of this.

Basically, say i have 10 tabs open, i close out of 5 of the tabs and then exit the app, when i reboot the app, those 5 tabs will be back open and i will have 10 tabs open once again!

Any ideas what might be up with this?

I like to collect my tabs and delete my all tabs. Collection feature in Firefox let me collect tabs of my name choice, I really like this feature a lot but this feature has a bug

  • Suppose I made collection of 3-4 number of tabs as list 1.
  • Then i delete all the tabs
  • Now when I go to my collection list 1 and select the open tab option from list, the tab comes back but again when I select open tab second time it also bring back all the tabs which was not even in the collection, and it keeps on bringing all the tabs you ever made irrespective of the collection list, though they not add to my collection list but when I open tabs from collection list it brings all the tabs which was deleted and they (tabs) even come back after clearing the browsing history also.

Please fix this problem, the solution which i recommend is

1. Collection of tabs should be separate form other browsing activity it should be like a copy which I can curate accordingly. 2. Collection list should not delete even after clearing the browsing history only by manually delete the collection list does so. 3. Give is the option of select all option for selecting tabs its very hard to select tabs one by one and then group them into my collection

Please fix this problem it's very annoying i have used collection feature in safari try to take hints from them.
