Add-on were one of the major issues blocking Multi-process Firefox. >Not to mention Firefox ate memory like a pig until recently, despite not having sandboxing. Agreed. Sandboxed Chrome was like a gift from the IT gods back in the bloated FF3 days. >Now it's somewhat better with post 16 stuff, but still it's slow. Chrome is much more responsive and fast.

>Add-on were one of the major issues blocking Multi-process Firefox. Well, they will need adaptation to communicate cross pages, but it's not like you can't have sandboxing and plugins (a la Chrome/Safari). >Responsive and fast until it starts thrashing when your physical RAM gets all used up. Haven't really seen that. But I rarely have more than 20 tabs open (usually around 10-15). OS X, and using Canary.
