Firefox 54 Arrives With Multi-Process Support For All Users (venturebeat.com)

An anonymous reader writes: Mozilla today launched Firefox 54 for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android. The new version includes the next major phase of multi-process support, which streamlines memory use, improving responsiveness and speed. The Electrolysis project, which is the largest change to Firefox code ever, is live. Firefox now uses up to four processes to run webpage content across all open tabs. This means that complex webpages in one tab have a much lower impact on responsiveness and speed in other tabs, and Firefox finally makes better use of your computer's hardware.

What about their Javascript interpreter?

Will we be able to reduce--or eliminate--the use of things like NoScript to keep FF's awful Javascript interpreter (IMHO) from hosing up the browser? Other browsers seem to handle some web pages that cause FF to crash and burn.
