Electrolysis development seems to be picking up as i see more articles about it recently.

Any ballpark estimate of when it'll be final and released? Firefox 10-12?

Bug 516518 depends on Bug 646596 but should instead be linked here. Probably, there are other bugs in Bug 516518 that should be moved here, too.

Anyone using the Larch disposable branch for this project?
https://tbpl.mozilla.org/?tree=Larch

I tried reaching billm for an answer since he was the last person commiting back in August 12.

Can I take this branch and make it available for other teams?
armenzg: I don't believe billm or any other e10s developer is using the Larch branch any longer, so feel free to reset it. I will update the disposable project branch wiki's booking table.
Thank you Chris!
Hi,

I found that bug:

'Bug 392073 - Firefox limited to 1 CPU on multi-cpu machine; multi-threading appears broken'

is duplicate if this bug. 

I think that my Firefox since many versions uses only one CPU. I now realized it, but it seems I always suspected it. It was like this on OSX Snow Leopard, OSX Lion, OSX Maverics. Now I use Firefox 27.0.1 on OSX Maverics. I think this 1 CPU problem is the source of every think I don't like in current Firefox, like being slow, and slow again. Surprisingly nobody says it. It shocked me a little bit when I realized it.

Can somebody confirm me that it is true?

I think this can be main cause of serious Firefox decrease in market share. 

I am still shocked.
Lukasz: Firefox has been multi-threaded for many years. Firefox's threads should be able to use more than one CPU today. This bug is about splitting Firefox into multiple processes, not multi-threading. If you see Firefox only using one CPU, please file a new bug report.

Can this bug be given a better name? The definition of electrolysis barely even fits the task at hand, nor is it a term that anyone outside of the Firefox dev team (and perhaps even within it) would use while searching for this.

As such, it's really no wonder that there have been a myriad of duplicate bugs filed for this.

These signatures just appeared recently and i think they are OMTC related since the crashing doesn't occur when i'm in the beta channel

We are going to enable e10s to aurora soon:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Electrolysis#Schedule

Release Note Request (optional, but appreciated)
[Why is this notable]: I don't think I need to explain why e10s is important.
[Suggested wording]: Multi-process (aka Electrolysis or e10s) enabled by default
[Links (documentation, blog post, etc)]: I guess we will have a few blog posts about it.

This is not on by default now for aurora, but I'd like to still give it a release note if that seems good to the e10s team. 
Brad and jimm, what do you think? Do you have something to link to and a suggested wording?
