Multiple processes for multiple windows/tabs

txe5502 · 03-16-2009, 02:10 AM

Hi,

I have noticed that on my PC IE seems to run GREATLY faster than Opera and Mozilla Firefox when many windows are open, but it lacks the features and add-in support I need. I have found that the reason it is so much faster is because it opens a seperate process for each window that is open while mozilla and opera only use one process for everything. Is it at all possible to somehow use Opera or Mozilla and have one process per window or tab like IE has?

I really need to know if this is possible because more than one person uses this computer and lots of windows and tabs are eventually open, but when I have over 10 tabs or windows open running from the same process on this computer, it eventually gets so slow that it is almost unusable (most windows become almost unresponsive and get blank for a few seconds when you click)

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
