1) ''Enable jetpack to always create add-ons that take advantage of the Electrolysis (e10s) to run in a separate process.'' Running an add-on in a separate process is important for users and the add-on developer as it makes it much easier to determine if an add-on is affecting the browser's performance. In addition, there may be some security enhancement as its much harder to exploit a vulnerability if its being run in a separate process. For Jetpack, we want to ensure that our users never even have to think about e10s or how to use it for their add-ons to run in a separate process. | 1) ''Enable jetpack to always create add-ons that take advantage of the Electrolysis (e10s) to run in a separate process.''
