According to the IRC channel, technically no. The UI is now a native
Java app, but the renderer (being Gecko) is still a separate process.
There are still separate processes per domain, perhaps per tab.

I do also use AdBlock Plus on Firefox Mobile, so it's possible the
adblocking contributed to its success. Want me to re-run the tests
with ABP disabled?
