I installed FireFox on myHTC Incredible2. I still have Opera & the default browser. FireFox is great, the others crash at a lot of the sports urls particularly links wouldn't last. But since FireFox was installed (@ the same time Facebook was updated) the battery has been draining halfway "incredibly" fast to halfway then the whole phone crashes. What gives? Thank you for time!

If you add the telementary data to what you report to Mozilla the status will be submitted to the team that analyzes the performance of the application on the device type. How can I help Submitting Mobile Performance Data
