FF has never been rock solid for me. Massive CPU usage. Causes my fans to turn on on any MacBook I’ve ever had.

Same experience here. Browsing with Firefox increases my CPU temperature by 10 degrees.

Try Beta/Nightly! Firefox got much better for MacOS in 70/71 but that version is not yet in stable.

This is macOS specific & apparently actively being investigated, not present here on Linux.

I'm a Linux user. While browsing with Chrome my CPU temperature hovers around 45 degrees. If I start using Firefox it increases to 55 degrees.

Sadly it’s been 5 years. I’ve reported it many times with lots of logs.

There have apparently been considerable improvements in this area in the latest Nightly/Developer editions, not in stable yet.

I have tried once a year. This is always the promise. It’s still not been fixed.

I get downvoted every time by people who don’t want to hear negativity about Firefox - I keep trying because I want it to be usable for me.
