Finally solved the battery drain issue in Firefox Android!!
This is part of the Android release for Firefox 127.0.2.
Please leave a comment on Bug : Android idle battery drain due to Firefox if you still experience this issue after updating Firefox and restarting your phone:
Finally! I had to uninstall FF because it was taking ~5% per hour, so in a 8h night, 40% of the battery was eaten by FF, even if I killed it there was a process somewhere
I'm surprised to see this was an issue. I've never had a battery drain issue with Firefox on my android phones.
I've been using Mull for a long time and had no issues. Recently installed Iceraven, phone got quite hot already after minutes of using it, battery drained fast. Not sure that is this but it sounds like.
am i right to assume that this should already be in fennec or nightly? i have fennec but i just want to make sure it's the same basic code base.
If you're on nightly, you should have the relevant patches.
Can we please fix the crashing and the closing keyboard too, please? 🥺
Not asking for a fix on PWAs because I know this is going to take forever to be fixed but sometimes it is hard to keep using Firefox on mobile
I will have to give it a shot, though I am still pessimistic. I was kind of turned off by the whole Pocket or whatever advertisement thing it wanted to enable. Vivaldi has been fine for me so far.
