Yep, can confirm that FF is still killing my 2014 MBP.
- cronix 8y agoStrange, it runs just as fast as Chrome on my 2013 MBP
- tyteen4a03 8y agoIt seems to only happen with certain Retina MBPs. Which is a shame - I really wanted to like Firefox on Mac.
- cronix 8y agoThat's interesting. Is there somewhere that lays this out (which models, etc)? This is a retina display so I'm curious why it would affect some and not others.
- SiVal 8y agoLikewise. FF turns my 2012 rMBP into a frying pan for any web page with moving content (video, animated GIFs, ads) or just significant JS (Google docs). I would prefer FF, so I keep checking every couple of years, but no improvement. Unusable. On those same pages, Chrome and Safari work just fine. If Apple were making MBPs better each year instead of demonstrating their "courage" ("This time we're taking X away from you because as long as Windows is the only competition, whaddya gonna do about it?") I would have already bought a new one, and that would presumably have more powerful graphics and not get as hot, but I would still want to verify that FF wasn't running the battery down faster than Chrome or Safari.
- seba_dos1 8y agoAFAIK there was a bug causing it to eat a lot of CPU on non-native resolutions (display scaling), which may explain some differences in user's experience.
- derekdahmer 8y agohttps://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1429522 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1429522 Yep luckily the bug is being actively worked on and might land in the next version or two. I can confirm its not fixed yet. Firefox Dev Edition is unusable on my 2014 MBP w/ integrated graphics but is crazy fast on my 2018 and Hackintosh.
- cglace 8y agoHave a 2013 MBP and it runs fine for me.
