    Firefox on FreeBSD: shared web content processes, -isForBrowser and dom.ipc.processCount

    dom.ipc.processCount is 8 (the default here). Recently, I often see more than eight content shared web content processes, for example: Is this excess allowed, by design? A later shot: After a few tests, it seems that the expected number is used if, say, I have three windows open before...
