bent checked in a change last week which disabled the IPC mechanism by default in Electrolysis. We did this in order to get the unit-test machines showing green on Tinderbox, to make sure we weren't introducing hidden regressions. It also allows hackers to work on only tabs or plugins without worrying about instability in the other code. This should leave you with a usable browser by default with nightly builds of Electrolysis. To enable separate plugin processes, set the dom.ipc.plugins.enabled pref to true. To enable separate tab processes, set the dom.ipc.tabs.enabled pref to true. Note that there are still some unit-test failures/crashes that we need to fix in the plugin code, so you might not have a very stable browser yet. --BDS
