Who is "we"?

>  1. Code overhaul

That's so broad as to be useless.  Which code and in what way?

>  2. Multi-thread the tabs

Generally agreed on to be a good thing; I suggest reading the existing
discussions on the topic, both in Bugzilla and in the newsgroups.

Same "we"?

(Just commenting on the Firefox parts)

1) That seems to be combining mis-informed blathering with a serious
suggestion to make use of the process-separation model Chrome uses.
Just using it wholesale won't work because the integration points are
too different, and there are existing plans to implement something
similar which I suggest you read up on.

2) Is there a reason you're not just using Seamonkey if you want a
browser + mail client that's based on Gecko?

3) You already have the control you want in Firefox, last I checked.
And the two separate bars thing is not an obvious loss; again I suggest
you read up on the extensive discussion that has already happened here.

4) It's taking this long because you're not helping make it happen?
Clearly with your superior intellect and reasoning ability you would
have had it done yesterday.

5) Some possibly good ideas here.  Bugs filed?

-Boris
