    e10s (multiprocess) is currently rolling out. It's probably the biggest single architectural change in the browser's history and requires coordination with huge numbers of extension authors. Lots of people have put a lot of work into this project; it's not like you can just flick a magic multiprocess switch on a giant application like Firefox. http://www.arewee10syet.com/ https://wiki.mozilla.org/Electrolysis#Schedu…
