I am using Nightly on Yosemite and power use is pretty atrocious. The battery menu tags Firefox Nightly as a significant battery hog, and I can confirm this from the user experience perspective as well. My battery time is a fraction of using Chrome for the same tasks.
Not every kind of content seems to trigger this behavior, but Google Sheets in Firefox seems to be a pretty reliable way to drain my battery quickly. I checked with Instruments and I don’t think CPU utilization per se is the problem. We use less CPU than Chrome, especially if you add up all the many Chrome processes. Our CPU utilization is better than Chrome’s but our battery behavior is much worse. That’s really odd. Ideas welcome.
