Well, yes. The FF model is to have one process, no matter how many windows, no matter how many tabs.
This has not been true for about a year. Firefox switched to a multiprocess model in about April 2017: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Multiprocess_Firefox It is called Project Electrolysis: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Electrolysis/Multiple_content_processes 1 process shows the app and spawns up to 3 background processes for rendering tab content. Thus it can effectively use up to 4 cores, which is still as many as is common on most PCs, but doesn't eat all the resources it can get, as Chrome does. -- Liam Proven - Technical Writer, SUSE Linux s.r.o.
