I recently updated my mozilla on my mac and noticed in the activity monitor that sometimes the process is called "Firefox Privileged Content" instead of "Firefox Web Content". Is that normal? What is up with it sometimes being called "privileged"? Is there a way to turn that off? I attached an image below.

Thanks

Privileged Content processes are used for special Mozilla websites (browser.tabs.remote.separatedMozillaDomains) and pages like Lockwise (about:logins), so you will see these when you have such a page opened in a tab.
