Do Mozilla apps have access to the process manager?

So really I have 3 questions, but they are all pretty straightforward (for once): Can an add-on in Firefox see if there are multiple instances of Firefox/the firefox process running?

Are Web Workers themselves allowed to have Web Worker threads?

This would seem to be the case in Firefox 3.5+, there I can instantiate a Web Worker, and inside the worker, spawn another thread.

So which is it? ...

JavaScript: Quickly insert text into long textarea

I am playing around with creating an HTML-textarea based plain text editor to edit my scripts (using e.g. Mozilla Prism + a localhost install/ webserver).
