Based on the promising early results from our Nightly experiment comparing dom.ipc.processCount.webIsolated limit 1 vs 4 processes per site, we'd like to increase dom.ipc.processCount.webIsolated to something greater than 1. While we'd like to use a smart heuristic based on memory usage/etc when deciding whether to use a new content process, kmag thinks that can wait until after we ship Fission MVP and, in the meantime, we should just bump the limit before MVP.

Assigning to Nika because she will write related the related to patch to prefer existing content processes for new iframes (bug 1726865).

Deferring this bug from Fission Milestone M8 to MVP. This bug doesn't need to block our Release channel experiment (M8) and we wouldn't uplift a fix to Beta 92 this late in the beta cycle.
