Multi-Process Comes To Firefox Nightly, 64-bit Firefox For Windows 'Soon'

An anonymous reader writes with word that the Mozilla project has made two announcements that should make hardcore Firefox users very happy. The first is that multi-process support is landing in Firefox Nightly, and the second is that 64-bit Firefox is finally coming to Windows. The features are a big deal on their own, but together they show Mozilla's commitment to the desktop version of Firefox as they both improve performance and security. The news is part of a slew of unveilings from the company on the browser's 10th anniversary — including new Firefox features and the debut of Firefox Developer Edition.

I still maintain that Firefox has one of the most friendly developer communities out there.

Unless you contribute to a political cause they don't like.

Damn right.

Would a 'friendly community' welcome a new boss who supported banning inter-racial marriage? No, and the oh but it's just a personal view nonsense wouldn't fly there either.

Actually, no. See, people have the right to be intolerant, and begrudging them that right is, plain and simple, as bigoted as denying any other right for any other reason. That, of course, is on top of being entirely hypocritical, being intolerant of intolerance, and such. You don't have to agree with someone else's opinion in order to allow them to have it.

You're welcome to hang on to your logical fallacy, though. Have fun with it.
