5 years ago User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:24.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/24.0 (Beta/Release) Build ID: 0258 Steps to reproduce: When running Firefox normally, OS X 10.9 always calls out Mavericks in the battery status widget as 'using significant energy'. This happens even before reinstalling Flash after the 10.9 install removed it -- the only plugin installed was the QuickTime plugin. Expected results: Firefox for Mac shouldn't be this powerhungry even just idling at adobe.com while reinstalling Flash; Safari and Chrome play nice with power management. App Nap support would be good, too. 5 years ago I'm not sure what exactly the 'energy impact' number means, and I can't find anything specifically documenting this. I've been watching the EI as I browse and even ordinary sites that don't use Flash (that I can see, at least) seem to be kicking the EI up to anywhere between, usually, 11 and 20.

How to Reinstall Mozilla Firefox on Mac OS X Like most applications, uninstalling Firefox from an Apple PC is a straightforward matter of erasing the application file. OS X Yosemite doesn’t have a convoluted uninstall application. Operating System: Mac OS X 10.9 or later. Bluetooth scanner for mac. Powerpoint office for mac insert multiple images. It is advisable to upgrade to the latest “point” release by running Software Update, found in the Apple menu.

Right now as I type this, it's sitting at around 14, spiking to 22 as I type. And sometimes it spikes even higher than that when it theoretically is sitting idle doing nothing with only a basic page (this one) in the foremost tab and no videos or anything of the sort playing in the background -- it just spiked to 27, for example. It hasn't gone off 'significant energy usage' since a minute or two after I launched it. 5 years ago If, as the title of this bug suggests, Firefox is permanently listed in the Battery widget as a Energy Hungry app, then we indeed have a problem. (I do not see this with Firefox 25 on a Retina MacBook Pro - But things may be different for other types of hardware) That said, all apps use energy. Some more than others. In case of a web browser it also heavily reflects the complexity and activity of the web page that is being opened or looked at.

So this can be really difficult to assess without proper context. (What kind of pages are open, what is the active page, etc.) There will always be power spikes. That is totally normal when you load page or when the page 'does something. It can run JavaScript, embed Flash, play a movie, etc. All these things cause CPU usage to go up and thus energy usage too.
