I'm noticing an excessive consumption of battery by Firefox, both in the latest beta for Android, and on the stable channel of Windows 10. Does anyone else have these problems?

Hi

I am not aware of anything that would cause these issues and certainly not cross those two operating systems as the Windows and Android versions of Firefox are very different.

To be fair I do not use Windows (I currently use Xubuntu).

If you are browsing the web a lot on these devices and are looking at pages with large amounts of rich media (such as images and videos), you should expect greater power usage.

Isn't completely true cause Chrome and Edge doesn't have this battery drain
