How is this any different than just having multiple windows open? Maybe a slight performance savings over running 2 different processes but I can’t immagine that amounts to much.
Depends on your workflow. I find this feature useful when I have multiple tabs open and need to switch between them, but also need two different sites open side by side. If I switch a lot between the tabs, having two windows open becomes annoying pretty fast as I want my main window to be maximized. This is a non-issue if my second monitor isn’t being used for something else, but it often is.
Firefox is already multi-process, so it probably won’t change Jack shit in that regard, either. And even when it was single process, it was a process for all open windows.

I use this a lot (on Zen browser); It’s pretty much the same thing as having two windows, but I find it a lot more practical in general.
Zen is not great about having multiple windows open, which is a non-starter for multi-monitor setups
They did add this bizarre new feature that syncs tabs between windows though. I still can’t wrap my head around why someone would want this.
I guess it really depends on how you use the PC. I usually have 7 or more active programs at the same time so I avoid opening extra windows.

Mobile won’t permit you to have 2 windows of the same app open just because you want that.
