iPad OS Battery usage

I’m having a massive issue with Firefox draining my battery on my iPad, I only use it for an hour and it uses large portions of my battery. It also seems to be refreshing itself in the background, even though I have the background refresh setting specifically turned off. I’ve noticed that other people have had this problem, and it’s been fixed by and update, but that does not seem to be the case for my usage. Are there any settings I can change or modify?

Hi

What model of iPhone are you using?

What is the version number of Firefox for iOS that you have installed?
