Details

As an aid to debugging, it would be helpful if the b2g persona process's name were "Persona" rather than "Browser".
:jlebar suggested we could look at the uri in TabChild::RecvLoadURL, and have SetProcessNameToAppName() behave accordingly

Well, that's a hack, because if the user visits persona.org (or whatever the magic domain is) in the browser, we don't want to change the process name.

If you want something to check in, we'd need to do something more clever, like set a magic attribute on the <iframe mozbrowser> and send that down to the TabChild.
Ah, ok yes, that sounds better.  And that could also be used by other apps, too.

Well, other apps can't open <iframe mozbrowser> in separate processes until bug 879475 lands.
Zach, are you working on this, or should I take it?
