Running in a single process (not strictly true; addons are in another) has a lot of performance benefits though. I can get Firefox up to ~1.2GB with a few hundred tabs; Chrome uses that much memory for about 20.
Also, splitting process is bogosecurity like "I run SSH on a non-22 port". I thought the general consensus here is that security by obscurity is bad.

I agree that there is nothing inherently secure about it, though it has other benefits, but it doesn't increase obscurity as such (you could argue that the need for well-defined message-passing semantics leads to more decoupled code, decreasing 'obscurity').
