For me, the big thing Firefox needs is better power management.
Mac user here, and streaming video or doing a video call just kills my battery compared to Chrome or Safari.
Would love to see more focus on energy consumption optimization.

And are you suggesting Chrome is similar to Safari in terms of power usage? That would surprise me
Safari will of course always be better. It's no competition

My laptop gets so hot when running Firefox -- almost instantly (certainly after 3-4 minutes). But I can do a call for an hour on Chrome and it doesn't get nearly as warm. And the battery just drops accordingly as the fans struggle to keep up.
I like to use Firefox, but I end up doing all my calls when I'm not plugged in on Chrome as a result of the power use / heating issues.
Firefox is my main browser, and it's a beast. Very low footprint, snappy and very decent in terms of power consumption.
Is it not using hardware acceleration or something?
