It ensures we have no accidental dependencies on running in the same process as the content page. It also helps us work around perf issues with many operations requiring the main thread which is often busy during page load in content processes. I also think it would be worth investigating a separate process for the network stack: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1322426 I don't think anyone is working on that, though.
