great choices, but I'm little disappointed seeing 0 results while searching for 'battery' as my Mac-book battery last longer on Safari than Firefox.

  Can ff really do much about that? Safari is probably getting a better battery life out of your Mac because Apple have a direct incentive to optimise for their own hardware.

  Fixing https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1429522 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1429522 should bring a noticeable improvement here and should happen in 2018.

    Sorry, how does "Avoid using a transparent window by using CoreAnimation" improves battery life?

      Less compositing necessary, among other things

  This is the only thing I want from Firefox in 2018. It's the single issue I have with it that might push me back to Safari.

  Ya, I just switched back to Chrome, because it was unbearable to use Firefox over Chrome without my laptop plugged in (we're talking ~8hrs life down to ~1.5hrs). I really wanted to like Firefox (given its strong privacy)...such a shame.
