Nope. Threads can use multiple cores as well. No need to launch separate process for it.

- sliverstorm 13y agoAh yes, of course. I should have remembered that. So Firefox is multi-threaded now?
- option_greek 13y agoAs far as I know, it has always been. Unlike javascript which usually runs in a single thread, the browser itself is free to use as many background threads as it wants to load resources, render graphics etc. Only javascript is usually run as single thread per tab (unless the webpage uses web workers).
