Just installed it. And had gmail running on it and Chrome at the same time. Firefox Nightly showed to be using significant power while Chrome was not. I think this still has a long way to go before I switch to Firefox both in terms of performance and dev tools.

You're not the first to complain about the performance of Google property in non-Google browsers.

I'm not sure why it should be, or what it implies, but I've seen more than one person pointing out the difference.

Not being a Google user, I'm quite happy with the current Firefox performance, and delighted that Mozilla is finding even more room to improve.

“Web service designed to crush batteries when used outside of chrome uses a lot of power still.” Film at eleven.
