Firefox To Get Multi-Process Browsing

Posted by Soulskill on Wednesday July 8, 2009 @05:17AM from the multi-fox dept.

An anonymous reader writes with news that multi-process browsing will be coming to Firefox. The project is called Electrolysis, and the developers "have already assembled a prototype that renders a page in a separate process from the interface shell in which it is displayed." Mozilla's Benjamin Smedberg says they're currently "[sprinting] as fast as possible to get basic code working, running simple testcase plugins and content tabs in a separate process," after which they'll fix everything that breaks in the process. Further details of their plan are available on the Mozilla wiki, and a summary is up at TechFragments.

Mozilla is playing catch-up to Google in this regard.

How long until a Mozilla Firefox OS is announced?
