Firefox isn't multi-thread or multi-core enabled.And from what I know, it's same with Chrome. But, from my guess, as Chrome uses multiple processes, it might be using more than one core overall (but still one core max per tab). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking, it went mad :tehe: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firefox too was considering following that path, but probably scrapped or halted the project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May be, they are expecting to make an evolution on multi-threaded browser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcs18 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 In future, if you decide to upgrade your architecture to x64-bit and if you'll not be using RoboForm - try the stable Cyberfox (concurrently with your present browser.)Personally, I prefer the nightly - can't advocate an alpha, though. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
