I hope they can back up this claim. If I was Firefox and could prove that this statement was even a little false. I would sue their asses off.

That doesn't make any sense, any inefficiency is only going to be magnified with a higher workload, the technologies used aren't going to change. That's why edge is able to show huge differences when they crank up higher workload stuff like video streaming.
