I installed a V 51 developer edition to test out multi-process, and when multi-process was on, my bookmarks that modify the dom did not work. Any one else noticed anything similar?
Does firefox run each tab in its own process yet? Or live inside a sandbox? I switched from firefox + noscript to chrome after accepting that firefox's security (even with noscript enabled) was just so far behind that of chrome.
Isn't this exactly what the article explains and clarifies?

First of all, by common measurements Firefox's market share is more like 13.5% [1], not the 4% you mentioned. According to that link Firefox is the #2 browser, ahead of Microsoft and Apple's browsers. Second, Mozilla is a non-profit, so the incentives are different that the usual ones. Basically Mozilla wants to help the open web. A 13.5% browser can do that in many ways: drive new standards, provide an alternative t…
Thanks. That makes sense. I guess I just wasn't clear that Mozilla had unusual "non-capitalistic" goals.
Make Vimperator great again - still no support. :'( Two year old github issue but yet any development to be seen or reported :/

I force-enabled multi-process FF a while ago and haven't had any issues. In the 49.x series there were one or two tab crashes, but I can't think of any recently. All of my extensions have worked just fine too.
How do I know if my extensions are multiprocess compatible?

Firefox has more than a 4% market share[0][1]. One of the main reasons I've heard, is that it's free, and that the Mozilla Foundation is a non-profit. I also just found this bit, that explains how some browsers might be over or under estimated, because of how their internals work[2]. So we really don't know what the market shares really are.

Oh. I guess the source I used was garbage. I just typed in Firefox browser share on google and looked at the first result and it looked legit. It seems their share is shrinking quite fast though.
