Site-isolation on Android

Hi,

Super cool site-isolation is now rolled out for Firefox Android!

I was checking the 'about:memory' and 'about:process' info pages and noted that there only seems two different processes for all tabs. As Firefox desktop achieves site-isolation via different processes per tab I was wondering if on my android device its correctly enabled. Can you elaborate if this is intended and how the site-isolation on android works?

Thanks!

We don't have the same isolation strategy in Firefox for Android. Right now it only isolates web content loaded by sites which are considered "high value". A site is considered "high value" if it has been granted a `highValue*` permission by the Android permission manager, which is done in response to certain actions.

However it still has bugs, so it has been turned off in version 147.0.2.
