New process with Firefox...
You've opened 12 windows with Firefox... and the task manager shows only 1 process.... which is a good thing IF you are worried about memory... HOWEVER... if you are doing work on several of those windows... and IF just ONE of those window happens to crash... do you know that ALL of the other windows will crash as well?? That is the danger of running things off of ONE process....

IE has the ability to run either in separate process for each window... OR as a single process as well.. IF you just press CTRL-N within an IE window... It just upons what appears as a new window... BUT this window runs as the same process as the one that you were using when you pressed CTRL-N.

Firefox has a whole bunch of new functionalities that I think are wonderful... HOWEVER... I would still like to be able to have the CHOICE to start a browser window running a separate process... so that if one window crashes.. my other ones are safe... OR even if one window hangs up because of some faulty server-side scripts... my other windows are not inacessible...
