That's OK, Firefox would just melt the MBP if you tried to do a streaming call on it anyway. It's my browser of choice, but it uses 40x more power to do streaming (vs. Safari), and has serious heat issues. Wish they'd fix it.

I mean, I do for streaming calls. BUT, I really do like Firefox's ability to clear history and cookies on close. I like the extensions for Firefox... Safari doesn't really have any extensions... not really anyway. Things work funk

Still no fix for the massive energy waste on Mac? Oof. Stream a call through Firefox vs Safari and it uses literally 40x the energy. And turns your MBP into a toaster. Been over a year, we all live on streaming calls, shame they haven'
