I thought Firefox had already isolated tab processes a couple releases ago?



They isolated plugins (like Flash), but the project for tab process - called Electrolysis - was put on hold last year.

Nope. The major fix that they did was to eliminate memory leaks in extensions when the user closes a tab.


no, there is still no meaningful isolation in that regard.
