Firefox is not on par in terms of performance at all, at least on the Mac. I use it at home and at work but it just uses too much CPU for me to recommend it to anyone.
- whynotminot 8y agoI keep wanting to use Firefox on Mac, but the CPU issues cause constant fan churn. I end up having to stick with Safari as my resistance browser. (Which isn't so bad, actually. I feel like Safari is pretty underrated in these discussions.)
- haack 8y agoI appreciate I'm a single data point and it's not scientific but with the same "typical" session open, the idle stats spread across all processes, on MBP2017: Chrome (v70): ~10% CPU FF (v63): ~7% CPU
- nisuni 8y agoFor me the problem with Firefox on Mac are random CPU spikes, the average idle usage is OK. Or some tab getting stuck and skyrocketing to 100% CPU, killing 10% of my battery if I don’t notice it in time. If you check on Bugzilla, there are many bug reports about it.
