The entire Firefox UI freezes when a tab is running a loop in JavaScript, so there are obviously far bigger architectural issues. It doesn't really have anything to do with SQLite or the lack of multi-processing for sandboxing.Last edited by strcat; 21 February 2014, 07:06 AM.

As i mentioned earlier, there was a big effort a while back to move all that IO, both reading and writing, into async calls running in background threads. It seems like maybe that was around FF17-18 or so, but i don't recall exactly.Last edited by smitty3268; 22 February 2014, 08:38 PM.
