Process per tab is _almost_ ready: http://billmccloskey.wordpress.com/2013/12/05/multiprocess-firefox/ http://billmccloskey.wordpress.com/2013/12/05/multiprocess-f...
You can play with it by setting `browser.tabs.remote` to true in about:config.
- ZoFreX 13y agoI don't even want process per tab, I'd be happy with something much simpler: Tell me which tab is causing Firefox to use 100% CPU! This happens fairly frequently with lots of tabs open (I guess I use a lot of websites with really bad javascript) and the only recourse is to either quit Firefox entirely and re-open it, or play a guessing game.
- ndesaulniers 13y agoFirefox will stop any client side JavaScript after 5-6s and ask whether you want to keep running the slow running script or not. If will even change to that tab before prompting you. Isn't that what you just described?
- ZoFreX 13y agoOnly if it totally locks up the browser though, not if the browser remains responsive but eats a lot of cycles.
