Mozilla launched a new project that has not yet been named. It is prepared to use multi-CPU support to speed more than Google Chrome and IE8. The latter supports multiple CPUs. The multi-CPU architecture is common in most desktop applications. Firefox's multi-CPU system allocates some intensive work to different CPUs for processing, such as enabling a CPU to run user interfaces and chrome programs, the other is rendering the webpage content.

This separation enables Firefox to have the same crash prevention capabilities as Google Chrome and IE8. A tab crash does not affect the entire program.

Although this action can reduce the jealousy of Google Chrome for those Firefox fans, do not expect that this system will soon appear in the next version. Mozilla's roadmap shows that even the beta version will not be available until one year later.

On the Mozilla wiki page, we can see that it is recommended that you refer to the Google's open-source chromium tools framework to accelerate development, but it is not determined yet. Similarly, Firefox will not be available in the short term in terms of its efforts to catch up with chrome and IE8, such as multi-CPU support, protected tabs, and sandbox security mechanisms.

Translation evaluation

Firefox has a large fan base.
Microsoft had to reflect on its negative behavior in the browser market over the years. IE7 was a failed response, and Google Chrome made IE
Once again, Microsoft is such a company that is so anxious that it will generate amazing power. IE8 has surpassed Firefox and Firefox in many aspects.
There are now three rivals, IE8, chrome and Safari, and Firefox has been stumbling due to a large expansion group, and there are signs of lagging behind in the kernel.

Although it is correct that Firefox supports multiple CPUs, the development speed is too slow from the roadmap.
