This means that, for example, if a page loading in the background is taking a long time to layout or has a long-running script, the entire browser freezes. This is particularly relevant for extensions which cause every large page to display slowly. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use greasemonkey to inject a slow script into every page (yes, I have a very good reason for doing this) 2. Load some pages in background tabs 3. Make and drink a cup of coffee while waiting for the browser to become responsive Expected Results: Each tab should layout its page and execute scripts in its own thread
