Ask HN: Mozilla Firefox – Process Handling
1 point by bluzeee on July 13, 2014 | hide | past | favorite | 2 comments
Believe firefox handles all user tabs as threads in a single process. please correct me if i'm wrong.

Wondering if it would switch to individual process from thread based approach.

Today one single tab hang renders FF not usable. Like keeping all eggs in one basket.

What do you guys think?



Work is in progress; you can track it in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=516752


Glad to hear that. Thanks for your reply.
