Firefox runs multiple sites in a single process, its sandboxing doesn't come close.

- cmeacham98 6y agoThis hasn't been true for years (https://wiki.mozilla.org/Electrolysis https://wiki.mozilla.org/Electrolysis)
- sciurus 6y agoActually, it is still true. Electroloysis split up Firefox into multiple processes, but not every site gets its own process. Work is underway to change this and achieve full site isolation in https://wiki.mozilla.org/Project_Fission https://wiki.mozilla.org/Project_Fission. (Disclosure: I work for Mozilla, but not on this)
