Not just you. I've been using it on and off since Nightly and it drains my battery fairly quickly. I'm back to using Chrome.
Ironically, I read this blog post (https://hacks.mozilla.org/2017/11/entering-the-quantum-era-how-firefox-got-fast-again-and-where-its-going-to-get-faster/ https://hacks.mozilla.org/2017/11/entering-the-quantum-era-h...) in Chrome and Firefox, and on Firefox the scrolling was noticeably slow to the point where I found it distracting.
Edit: Turns out scrolling a simple page up and down causes Firefox to use 40% CPU. Is it not using any hardware acceleration?
- majewsky 9y agoNot sure if it's using hardware acceleration right now (i.e. in v57), but there's a new rendering component (WebRender) coming in one of the next releases which does everything on the GPU.
- cannonedhamster 9y agoHardware acceleration is a feature in the options. I've not found that it's very useful and had to turn it off for performance reasons.
