Wonder what happens when the ui process crashes with the backend process still running? Or vice versa? It seems like killing Firefox just became a whole lot more difficult.
- zxcvcxz 10y agoI imagine it will still be straight forward on Linux/Unix.
- gear54rus 10y agoIt's very likely that OS-level facilities will be used to interlock those processes in such a way that no tabs can exist without the UI to attach to... It seems fairly obvious that this scenario should be handled in some way. You probably won't have to kill anything new.
- kristofferR 10y agoI just tried - the "Firefox Web Content" process was automatically killed quickly after the "Firefox" process was killed. No surprise there, it would be weird if they hadn't considered that scenario. If the "Web Content" process is killed while the main Firefox process is running, Firefox asks if you want to restore the tabs - which is half the point of e10s. "killall firefox" would be easy to do anyway.
