Firefox Electrolysis Beta test build startedMozilla has started a new project to make Firefox split into several processes at a time, one running the the browser UI (chrome), and several others running the web content, and plugins.
The working name for this project is Electrolysis.
Initial goals:
* Provide better application UI responsiveness
* Improve stability from slow rendering or crashes caused by content
* Improve performance, especially on multi-core machines
Potential future goals:
* Provide security enhancements by running the content process in protected or isolated modes.
Note: This video is currently only supported in Firefox 3.5
