I see! You certainly are very knowledgeable about the subject and have
done a lot of research on it. Now it makes sense to me more.

This api that continually changes, reminds me of MySQL. I wrote web
programs only to find out they broke, when mysql changed their API, and
then freepascal had to release a newer file that linked to the DLL. It's a
nightmare when api continually changes.

I can see them (firefox) changing the architecture to support multiprocess
though.
