Firefox' performance and battery life on laptops/mobile is horrendous when compared to Chromium-based alternatives. Especially on slower devices.

I've got an older laptop that I use for simpler stuff only. Video playback is horribly slow when compared to native clients, and the CPU fan sounds like a fighter jet if I try to open some of the heavier pages in Firefox. Chromium-based alternatives run just fine (albeit with twice the RAM usage, but that's not a problem for me).
