It is exactly that. Some extensions (it used to be "many extensions" before E10S was enabled on the Nightly and Aurora channels) assume that they can call back and forth between page content and browser chrome, which is easy when they're all JS objects in the same memory space, but which doesn't work nearly as well between processes. It might be worth downloading Firefox Developer Edition (which uses a separate profile) and installing your usual suite of extensions to check they all still work. The only extension I personally know is weird under E10S is "It's All Text", where the edit button doesn't appear on textareas until you switch to a different tab and back. Other extensions like uBlock Origin, Tree Style Tabs, Open In Browser, HTTPS Everywhere, Document Font Toggle all work fine.

A big one that's problematic is LastPass. It can hang the browser for a long time, 10+ seconds or so. Very annoying.

  Please try out the development version of lastpass, as most of the e10s compatibility work has gone into that: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/lastpass-password-manager/versions/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/lastpass-pass...

    Is there an e10s_okay extension or should I just run ff dev ed. and see what happens? I'm running: Lastpass uBlock Zotero I have others but I'd ditch them. I'm not keen at all on giving up the three above.

> "It's All Text" I hope that gets fixed. That's one of the most useful extensions I have installed, and about the first thing I install when starting afresh in Firefox.

How about vimperator? Vimfx is OK as a stop-gap but that's one extension I wouldn't want to lose permanently.

  Nope, vimperator doesn't work under e10s at the moment. See the tracking issue here: https://github.com/vimperator/vimperator-labs/issues/211 https://github.com/vimperator/vimperator-labs/issues/211
