&gt; This, according to a series of tests, has put Firefox on par with Chrome, in regards to power usage.<p>So still not awesome, but a round of applause to the team nonetheless. Not a small achievement.

Firefox has been my only browser since quantum appeared. However, on my 10inch 2-in-1 tablet with 2gb ram and an Atom Processor, Firefox&#x27;s performance has been subpar.<p>Pages will freeze, tabs become unresponsive. Closing the browser doesn&#x27;t work. It remains in process, eating up 70-80% of CPU until I terminate the process with task manager.<p>Because of this, I&#x27;m back with chromium (Opera and Edge). I thought Firefox 69 would change things but it hasn&#x27;t.<p>For touch screen friendliness, all desktop browsers suck at the moment (Classic edge&#x27;s basically unusable for me.) Firefox is definitely better than opera in this regard though. But I want a button to switch to touch mode - make buttons bigger. No need for AI to guess which mode I&#x27;m currently on.

Let&#x27;s hope this marks a care for Firefox on macOS by the developers, it has been neglected for years now.<p>I hope proper trackpad support is next.

How does one optimize applications for power usage? Should it avoid using GPU? Should it run computations in batches?

I hope this will allow me to finally ditch Chrome on Mac. On Windows I changed to Firefox when Quantum was released but on my old Macbook Air it has been too slow to use as my main browser.

I would love to be back on FF, which was my daily driver for most of the last two decades. I had high hopes for Quantum, but I didn&#x27;t love it. When I heard that Brave had switched to Chromium (and supports most Chrome extensions), I tried it and haven&#x27;t looked back.<p>I will try this new version of FF, and I hope it can win me back. Tree Style Tabs is unparalleled, and I&#x27;ve yet to find a Chromium-compatible version that works as well (currently using Sidewise, but don&#x27;t like that it&#x27;s in a separate window).<p>But Brave is so darn fast, I will not be surprised if FF doesn&#x27;t win me back. Glad they&#x27;re improving though, and at the very least pushing the whole field forward!

Presumably it reduces power usage by up to 2&#x2F;3rds, not 3x. (You won’t be using Firefox to charge your MacBook.)

Is this fix already available in the dev version of firefox?<p>Edit: The improvements are already available on nightly <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;whimboo&#x2F;status&#x2F;1168437524357898240" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;whimboo&#x2F;status&#x2F;1168437524357898240</a>

Does anybody know if these changes will benifit users who only have intel GPUs and non-retina screens?<p>I can&#x27;t complain about performance as-is, but even better would still be nice of course.

You can also try &quot;pinch to zoom&quot; on the trackpad, enabling the &quot;apz.allow_zooming&quot; flag
