Hello guys,
Have anyone had issues with firefox running on MacBook Pro draining the battery? I've tried a clean install and the battery performance hasn't got any better while using firefox. "I love God, He's my favourite fictional character." - Homer J. Simpson
If you have a retina or other high DPI display, the problem is well known. Here is a semi-official reply and workarounds https://old.reddit.com/r/firefox/commen ... splay_use/
Here is some general information https://old.reddit.com/r/firefox/search ... ance&t=all If you like: https://old.reddit.com/r/firefox/commen ... tina_macs/ https://old.reddit.com/r/firefox/commen ... a_display/ https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/commen ... me=firefox
Thank you buddy for this information!... and yes I have a retina display... ![]() (I don't know why I didn't search over Reddit... ![]() It's sad to read there isn't a fix yet for an issue that has been around for more than a year.

I believe it is always being worked on, it's hard for the developers to pin point the problem. Here are the two bugs, you can follow on Bugzilla, on the issue, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1404042 and https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1429522
They know what it is happening, the main problem and reason is the lack of more hands working over it. If I had the time I would help like some years ago. "I love God, He's my favourite fictional character." - Homer J. Simpson
I agree with that, also seems to be very technical, might be quit a while, until its fixed.
Yes, it is very technical, but people testing is needed as well. "I love God, He's my favourite fictional character." - Homer J. Simpson
Absolutely agree, hope the focus will be on the issue soon again for Mac testers.
Used to be a fair percentage of devs were using Macs

I think there are plenty, even more than before. But let's see some statistics: What's the OS's market share (more or less, it doesn't include OS for mobiles): - Windows 87,56% - MacOS 9,65% - GNU/Linux (All distros) 2,14% Now let's check how is the actual Browser market share overall OS's: - Chrome 66,77% - Firefox 9,39% - IE 8,55% ![]() - Edge 4,83% - Safari 3,62% As you can see, Firefox participation has decreased to a 9,39%, from a 35% once had (idk like 9-10 years ago). Finally, what's the browser share in MacOS: - Chrome 56,15% - Safari 36,58% - Firefox 6,20% Actually Firefox has around 240M of active users, therefore 15M uses Firefox on MacOS (it's obvious that Firefox isn't even the second choice), obviously a number that doesn't justify resources investment for the browser in the platform. P.D. Developers that use MacOS are around 30%, 25% for GNU/Linux and 45% for Windows. "I love God, He's my favourite fictional character." - Homer J. Simpson
In Nightly, at this point, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.c ... 429522#c32, so look for it in your friendly FF Release - some time in the future. Perhaps.
Related, I'm guessing, Bug 1574538 Enable CoreAnimation by default (gfx.core-animation.enabled). Fire 750, bring back 250.

Hey mighty! Long time!
Yes, I saw it over Reddit, people were talking about a Nightly build with a significant improvement. I haven't tested it myself but resources performance matches Chrome according some users. This must be the phase I, Markus Stange was talking about https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.c ... 429522#c26 :
