Firefox changes plans

One of the major changes expected in version 3.7 was the inclusion of Electrolysis, a new technology for Firefox that increases stability.

Electrolysis effectively splits the process that displays the browser interface, the web content and plugins into separate processes. Doing this will mean that a single bad process or plugin won't be able to crash the entire browser. This is similar to what Microsoft is planning with its Gazelle browser which is still in development and Google's Chrome browser already includes this.

...development team decided that it was important to get this capability to users sooner rather than later, and so they decided to fit it in with 3.6 updates.

Sounds good.
 
reading this article, I can't help notice how they repeat themselves......
 
I like the Electrolysis idea, have had the odd plugin/process bring the entire browser crashing down.

Haven't used Chrome enough to crash it, but it's good that they also have it, and certainly don't use IE for it to matter.

I wonder if they will also roll out the planned aero interface update to 3.6. I have been trying the nightly builds of 3.7, and they already had some aero enhancements in there.

Is this a replacement for IE? Not that I actually really care :p cause I am never going to use a M$ browser unless absolutely forced to (gun to head in corner stuff!).
