I'm surprised to see this was an issue. I've never had a battery drain issue with Firefox on my android phones.
If I'm reading this patch note correctly, they didn't actually fix it using too much battery, it seems they fixed android over reporting the battery used?
That's what it sounds like to me, but it's a bit unclear admittedly.
I've been using Mull for a long time and had no issues. Recently installed Iceraven, phone got quite hot already after minutes of using it, battery drained fast. Not sure that is this but it sounds like.
Yeah latest updates to Iceraven have been killing my battery as of late, guess it was an upstream issue and I gotta wait for a new version.
