Does a Firefox Workers limit exist?

Question

Im trying to create web Workers and post messages to them in cycle:

array.forEach(function (data) {
        this.createWorker();
        this.workers[this.wo         


        

Answer 1

Just did some test of my own. For this, i changed the code a little bit:

Cycle:

for(var i=0;i<200;i++){
   this.createWorker();
   this.workers[this.workersPointer].postMessage({task: 'someTask', number:i});
};

createWorker function:

this.workers =[];
this.workersPointer = 0;
storage=[];


var createWorker= function () {
    workersPointer++;
    var myPointer = workersPointer;
    var worker = this.workers[this.workersPointer] = new Worker('Worker.js');

    worker.onmessage = function (event) {
        if (event.data.error) {
            alert(event.data.error);
        }
        else {
            document.cookie=event.data.task+"["+myPointer+"]="+event.data.number;
        }
    };
    worker.onerror = function (event) {
        alert("Error: " + event.error);
    };
}

Worker:

onmessage = function(event) {
    postMessage({number:event.data.number*2, task: event.data.task});
};

After i run this, in chrome i got 66 cookies (including a nice blue crash window), in firefox i got 20. So both browsers seem to have worker limitations.

EDIT:

In Opera i get a console message:

Maximum number of Web Worker instances(16) exceeded for this window.
