Hello everyone, today in this article we will show you how to analyze the power consumption of websites in Firefox. Firefox version 104 was recently released for the desktop version, the Android version and the iOS version and made a number of functional improvements. Firefox now supports scroll-snap-stop and recapture properties. Users can use the always and normal values of the scroll-snap-stop property to specify whether or not to pass the snap point, even when scrolling quickly. Recapture attempts to preserve the last capture position after any content/layout change. So, without further ado, let’s get started.
Firefox is a smaller, faster and in some ways more secure Web browser than the Mozilla browser from which much of its code was originally derived. Compared to Internet Explorer, the most popular Web browser, Firefox offers users a cleaner interface and faster download speeds. As of November 2008, Firefox held about 20 percent of the worldwide browser market share. Internet Explorer held about 70%. Before proceeding, we recommend you to update Firefox browser
