Firefox for Android high energy consumption?

Hi! I have noticed that Firefox on my Android 14 phone is consuming most of the energy from the battery of all apps. I have no addons installed or anything crazy like that. Please see the attached screenshots. In the screenshots you can also see the amount of minutes Firefox is used, this is really low (compared to other apps).

I am wondering why Firefox always shows up as the most consuming app. Is there anything I can do to investigate? Or is there anything wrong with Firefox itself?

I have this "issue" for a couple of Firefox updates already. Also a reinatallation of the app does not "solve" it. The issue goes away after a reinstallation for a while, but eventually comes back. I always make sure to properly close down Firefox when I am done browsing, with no active tabs left open (I close them).

Hi,

Firefox voor Android gebruikt momenteel inderdaad behoorlijk wat van de recources en dit is iets waar de ontwikkelaars continu aan werken.

Let wel op dat je screenshot percentages zijn en eigenlijk niet heel veel zeggen behalve over de verhoudeing ten opzichte van andere apps. stel dat je maar 1 app open zou hebben staat het gebruik op 100% voor die app.

Hi Tim, Het klopt inderdaad dat de percentages niet per se veel zeggen over de situatie, maar wat mij dus vooral opvalt is de tijd die erbij staat dat ik Firefox daadwerkelijk gebruik. Vaak is dat maar een paar minuten in tegenstelling tot andere apps, maar is het batterij percentage dus wel veel hoger. Kan ik op een bepaalde manier erachter komen of het wel zou kloppen? Of dat ik misschien in Firefox naar bepaalde logging of iets kan kijken?

Hoewel ik dit probleem zelf niet lijk te hebben, zie ik het wel beschreven in deze twee artikelen. Wellicht staan daar tips voor oplossing in.
