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.

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.
