New idea
Currently if you look in Windows 10's Task Manager you'll see a bunch of "Firefox" named processes. My suggestion is to add a distinct ending string to describe what each process is for/doing.
Often it seems a process is doing lots of work for a particular URL/tab. I'd like to be able to see which tab or add-on is doing work outside the Firefox Task Manager. It is a fine new feature, but it can be useful to have multiple ways to find information (and verify it).
Ideas for names include...
- group shared work into a category (video playback, encryption, etc)
- use the whole URL for the process name, since it's held in a tree structure under Firefox and has an icon to match. On Linux they'd see the parent PID.
or more complex...
- if domains are unique for tabs, that's an obvious label
- if many tabs share the same domain then folder/file endings might differ
- or the "title" the web page itself sets could differ
If they change often this might add a good deal of extra work, so I understand if it's a feature that's disabled while on battery. But for debugging or profiling it might be a handy way to estimate for regular home users.
