Hi, all --
OBTW what plugins/extensions do you have with each?
I've been using Chromium because it's what was available, but I've noticed that it seems to really crush my laptop (details if anyone is interested; maybe I could also be doing something better).
Well, yes. The FF model is to have one process, no matter how many windows, no matter how many tabs. Something like old CICS on the /370 :-) Everything rolled into the one application, the one process doing its own scheduling, the one address space that it manages itself. very definitely NOT the "UNIX" way of doing things, but then it grew out of the (MS-)DOS world where there wasn't a proper OS to do these things.
Not the new FF on 15.0, there seems to be a "Web-Content" process per tab. Or for some tabs. Right now I saw one using 20% CPU. I killed if from top, and now one tab displays: Gah. Your tab just crashed. We can help! Choose Restore This Tab to reload the page. Nice :-) -- Cheers/Saludos Carlos E. R.
