You know, that statement makes even less sense in that case.
Of course XUL being a UI language will always be in the main process that governs the UI. It doesn't matter what language you use to build the UI, it will ALWAYS be a single process. Extensions dealing with content would of course have to be e10s compatible in their scripting/how they communicate back to the UI process, but that has no bearing on XUL or the XUL parser's parallelism or lack thereof.

Haha, I also had in mind this very multiprocessing (e10s) in one of the previous topics :)
Windows 7 Pro x64 - Pale Moon x64
We hope for multiprocessing

Yes, after reading your replies and making some more researches I discovered my post was wrong in many fundamental parts.
I thought I had it clear but I didn't. :crazy:

Don't feel bad - it's not an easy topic and there's much terminology confusion around due to many articles stating things incorrectly or without clarity.
