Browsing on firefox mobil gets very hot and laggy super quickly, brosing shouldn't be a heavy workload, but only in firefox my phone heats up and get lag super quickly until it became unbearable in terms of lag and temperature, after some searching I found out that this was a common issue and why didn't Mozilla fix this, it's a major known issue

The excessive heat and lag issue on Firefox Mobile is frustrating. Let's troubleshoot and potentially resolve this:

   - Enable "Low-Resource Mode" (Settings > Advanced).

6. Close unnecessary tabs. 7. Restart your device.

why the hell did mozilla not make it's customer support any easier, first the CS email from their playstore after you send the email you received the notes that they doesn't monitor the email, so basically they didn't look at the CS email from the play store and in the email they redirect you to this site. HERE'S THE QUOTE FROM THE PLAYSTORE EMAIL  : This email inbox is not monitored. For customer support, please visit our help center: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/ You can review help articles or ask a question in our help forum.

And now THIS !!! WTF MOZILLA
