Do they make use of enough threads ? :P
That's actually one of the reasons I use Chromium on my computer, because (my computer is not that fast) pages regularly freeze and that causes the entire browser to hang.
I think having a different process for each tab is a waste of RAM. That's why I don't use Chromium or Chrome.
I have no idea how they structure threads etc on Fx OS

Yes, well, you can put a modified Android rom on your phone, so you can replace it with something else.

To many folks, Free Software refers to Open Source (It was actually the first catchphrase). FOSS is a fair amount more recent.

@Eeems I doubt the threading on B2G will be any different than current firefox. But on the Tab memory wasting point, keep in mind that RAM is currently very cheap, computation-wise. The extra ~100 MB I might use, max, is made up for by the advantages, like allowing one tab to crash while the others live on, and I don't mind because I have another 6 GB of RAM free either way.

I have 8GB and I don't like anything filling up more then 1GB of it. While I know ram is cheap, I have regularly filled up all my ram due to things I work on ( VM's etc ) so having a separate process per tab taking up extra ram, and filling up my task manager. No not ok with it. I'd rather it was a separate thread per tab, which makes more sense in my mind. I very rarely have Fx crash on me and when it does I just restart it and get back to where I was.
