Details

(Keywords: meta) 

We’ve recently moved a number of parts of Firefox into separate processes (e10s, multi-e10s, GPU process, compositor, WebExtensions process, GMP).  This has produced some serious improvements in both security (sandboxing content, codecs) and stability (restarting GPU process when a GPU driver crashes, etc).  

This is a metabug for investigating and implementing increased Process Isolation and moving more parts of Firefox into services which (optionally) live in separate processes.
