I'm a bit confused by multiple tabs not showing up as
separate processes in Task Manager as Chrome tabs do. I'm
not saying that Firefox should behave exactly as Chrome
does; rather I'm trying to understand just how multiprocess
Firefox appears to the (Windows) OS. While most dialogue on
the mailing list alludes to per-tab processes, the actual
wiki speaks of separate process for chrome and content only.
This leads me to believe that regardless of tabs, you'll
always have only 2 processes: 1 for chrome and 1 for all
in-tab content. Am I correct in this conclusion, or am I
missing something?<br>
<br>
Also, where does this leave the plugin container process?
Will it still be separate from the aforementioned 2
processes, or has it been folded into one of them?<br>

With 2 pinned tabs and 2 full tabs (for a total of 4 tabs)
open I fired up Process Explorer* and looked at the Properties
of the firefox.exe process. Under the Job tab in the Processes
in Job section, I see only 2 processes: firefox.exe and
plugin-container.exe. I may be completely wrong about this,
but that looks no different from what I'm used to in non-e10s
Firefox. So exactly what's the (observable) difference between
the 2? Because so far I'm not seeing any.<br>

The devs haven't decided how many processes should be spawned per
tab. So for now, its just one child process.<br>
