+Processes, Threads and IPC
+==========================
+
+These pages contain the documentation for Gecko's architecture for platform
+process and thread creation, communication and synchronization. They live
+in mozilla-central in the 'ipc/docs' directory.

+ utility_process
+
+For inter-process communication involving Javascript, see `JSActors`_. They
+are a very limited case, used for communication between elements in the DOM,
+which may exist in separate processes. They only involve the main process and
+content processes -- no other processes run Javascript.
