Some browsers (Firefox?) have one thread for all pages. They cannot support two threads both accessing DOMs, even different DOMs, because their implementation is not thread-safe at all. Different pages can both access DOMs because they're actually on the same thread. (I think.) --------- You may be right about the single thread. Also it appears that Firefox does not allow one to start another instance of it as another process. Even with 3 running, there is only a single firefox in the process list. In such a situation, I would recommend that Firefox be changed rather than the spec.
