Discussion on: Why you need to give Firefox a chance

In Firefox on MacOS, I don't know what the problem is, but my 2017 MacBook Pro has TERRIBLE battery life when using Firefox. And I mean terrible. It literally will use 1-2% of battery per minute, and will drain my battery in about an hour to an hour and a half at most.

This is a known bug with screen scaling on MacOS, but oddly when I recently reinstalled MacOS and didn't touch the Display Settings, the bug still happened. Until this is fixed, Safari gives me several times the battery life. I wish I could use Firefox, but it just has a lot of performance problems on my laptop. :(

I am using Windows + Firefox and after realizing this article I hear a lot of bad comments from MBP Firefox users. Strange bug with performance and battery life. Mozilla need to fix this
