Firefox 3.7 and Firefox 4.0 will allocate separate processes at the interface to web pages and plugins. This will improve the stability and security of all.

Benjamin SmedbergDeveloper at Mozilla tells it is a true jack of all trades, which currently focuses on the problem of segregation of duties within the browsers of the foundation. It is the project manager ElectrolysisWhich aims to allocate different processes at the interface of Firefox, the minutes of each page and the transplants. A whole program.

This separation of tasks will influence positive stability and security of the browser. Using multiple processes will also increase Firefox performance (especially when multiple pages open simultaneously) and reduce delays sometimes observed.

The Code Project Electrolysis is not yet sufficiently stable to allow testing seriously. Benjamin Auffarth nevertheless managed to achieve results quite promising. Gains recorded seem higher than those won by a daily compilation of classic Firefox.

The results of this work will appear gradually in Firefox. The milling 3.7 separate grafts rendering the HTML page, eliminating many sources of deadlock. With Version 4.0Each page will function in a different process. Firefox will then adopt a modus operandi similar to that used for Chrome and Internet Explorer 8.
