Erel B4X founder Staff member Licensed User Longtime User Aug 9, 2020 #3 I made a quick test and I see that there is no direct relation between the number of tabs and the processes. It probably uses them as a pool of processes. And with Google help: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/performance-settings

The main question would be what are so many processes for since killing 3 of them seems like Firefox is running smoothly anyway. Won't they be useful for spying on the user's actions (sending information secretly)? In this regard (I should open another thread), I think many of us trust sw which source code is also provided; but who assures us that the compiled and actually used version is the same as the source provided?

A single process is enough for this.
