Hi everyone,

In https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1649529 I am landing a patch that will deprecate the ability to (de)serialize GeckoSession objects to/from Parcel objects. As I previously mentioned on this list in the message titled, "RFC: Removing ability to write GeckoSessions to Parcels," this functionality is error prone and a serialized GeckoSession cannot be passed between processes.

Furthermore, in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1649530 I am landing a patch that will deprecate GeckoRuntimeSettings.Builder.useMultiprocess and GeckoRuntimeSettings.getUseMultiprocess. Single-process browsing is no longer officially supported by Gecko, so we will be removing GeckoView's ability to support single-process. Once these APIs are removed, GeckoView will run exclusively in multiprocess mode.

The patches in the above bugs are currently in the process of landing in GeckoView 80, however they will be backported to GeckoView 79 with the intention of completely removing the aforementioned APIs in GeckoView 82.

Thanks,

Aaron
