Mozilla remains cautious with the roll-out. At first, it will divide the browser between a UI process and a content process. The next step is to enable per-tab processes, followed by sandboxing security and isolating the add-ons into their own processes. Firefox should be fully multi-process before the end of the year.
Even when Electrolysis is finally released into the wild, though, Mozilla will be exceedingly cautious with the ramp-up. At first, e10s will only be enabled for a small portion of Firefox's 500 million-odd users, just to make sure that everything is working as intended. Windows XP users, users with screen readers, right-to-left users, and people using add-ons will all be excluded from the initial e10s roll-out.Source: ARS Technica
"Assuming all is well, we’ll turn the knobs so that the rest of the eligible Firefox users get updated to e10s over the following weeks," says Dotzler on his blog. "If we run into issues, we can slow the roll-out, pause it, or even disable e10s for those who got it. We have all the knobs."
