1486568 - forceNewProcess reuses the preallocated process

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Testing :: Mochitest, enhancement)

Description

[:Felipe Gomes (needinfo for replies!)]

It looks like that the forceNewProcess option from BrowserTestUtils doesn't always _really_ force a new process.


Bug 1483444 demonstrated an issue (see comment 6 - 8 there) where forceNewProcess is being used but because of the preloallocated process manager, a process is reused and that is interfering with the test.
