Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[pejvan]

Attachment: Screenshot_20200621-092548_Device care.jpg

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:77.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/77.0

Steps to reproduce:

Firefox running in the background tends to consume large amounts of battery
I'm running Firefox 68.9 (the latest available on the Google Play Store)

Actual results:

see screenshot.
This was taken in the morning, after a sleep night where my phone remained untouched. This happens also during the day of course and I need to kill Firefox otherwise I have a significant battery drain.
I feel like some websites have more impact than others. For example when Yahoo Finance is open a the impact on the battery drain is visible, even when in the background

Expected results:

firefox shouldn't have any meaningful battery impact when running in the background
