Finally! I had to uninstall FF because it was taking ~5% per hour, so in a 8h night, 40% of the battery was eaten by FF, even if I killed it there was a process somewhere

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.
