Comment Comment by frik "There are multiple competing factors when it comes to choosing the right number of processes.- For security, more processes is better; one per tab is probably ideal.- For crash protection, ditto.- For responsiveness, one process per CPU core is probably best.- For memory usage, one process is probably best."as a dev wrote in the mailing list: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mozilla.dev.platform...For various technical reasons Firefox e10 will support a few sub-processes in near future, but nothing is set in stone. Rust based Servo supports (afaik) dozens of processes, as we know it from Chrome and IE. parent frik 11 years ago
