It would be really nice if the addons/extensions page showed which addons were listed as compatible and which weren't. I might thus make a decision to disable/delete an addon or two that were blocking me from using multiprocess firefox. As it is, I have no idea if my firefox is using multiprocess at all. All I know is that I use a lot of addons and I'm probably not, then, using multiprocess.
- binaryanomaly 10y agoYou can see on the Add-ons Manager page if a particular add-on is compatible. about:support shows you if multi-process is enabled " Multiprocess Windows".
- lomnakkus 10y ago> You can see on the Add-ons Manager page if a particular add-on is compatible. You can? Where? (Of course, it may be a version thing.)
- pdw 10y agoYou need an add-on for that: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compat... That's not enough though. In about:addons all my add-ons are listed as compatible, but about:support still says that multiprocess is "disabled by add-ons". So YMMV. EDIT: The gotcha is that the current release uses a whitelist of only about 20 extensions. If you have anything else, you need to force-enable the feature, even if your extensions are supposed to be compatible. https://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-release/file/FIREFOX_50_1_0_RELEASE/toolkit/mozapps/extensions/internal/E10SAddonsRollout.jsm#l16 https://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-release/file/FIREFOX...
- binaryanomaly 10y agoAh ok thanks, didn't realize that this info was only available because I have the add-on installed.
- m_mueller 10y agoFirefox: Trouble managing your addons? Here, have this other addon!
- CaptSpify 10y agoBut don't worry, we've bundled all these other tools that nobody wants into FF itself!
- saghm 10y agoHow great would it be if that add-on were incompatible with multiprocess?
- andrepd 10y agoHow would you force-enable that feature?
- lomnakkus 10y agoYeah, as it turns out, when I installed it actually reported misleading info. (But then the official site misreported too.). Uninstalled some of the tab extensions I had running and went for "Tab Center" from Test Pilot instead. I'm now running on multi-process and it seems quite a bit snappier overall. :)

- rockdoe 10y agoCheck about:support. i.e. Multiprocess Windows 1/1 (Enabled by default)
- pipeep 10y agoYou can figure out what add-ons are compatible by cross-referencing http://www.arewee10syet.com/ http://www.arewee10syet.com/
- saberworks 10y agoThanks; I disabled quite a few non-critical addons based on this list and was able get the switch in about:support to flip. Will see if it's worth it! All of the addons I disabled are listed as "unknown" so I suspect they will all just work fine if I forced multiprocess but better safe than sorry. Thanks for the information.
- FreeFull 10y agoSeems the only addon I use that isn't compatible is "Disable Ctrl-Q Shortcut". It's an addon I really don't want to get rid of, there have been many cases in the past where I've accidentally pressed ctrl+q instead of ctrl+w, and had Firefox quit on me.. Edit: The page for the addon has a comment saying it does work with multiprocess, so I just forced it on. I'm on Linux, and I don't know of an about:config key to disable ctrl+q
- tyre 10y agoIf you're on OS X, you can override per-Application shortcuts to achieve the same effect. Not sure about other OSes
- djsumdog 10y agoI think you can set that in `about:config` without a plugin
- 0942v8653 10y agoIf you set browser.showQuitWarning to true (also make sure browser.warnOnQuit is true; that should be default) it will show a dialog to confirm if you want to quit. But if you check the box "do not show next time" it will set browser.showQuitWarning to false.

- anexprogrammer 10y agoI'm stuck as half the addons I find useful aren't compatible. The two most notable are 1password and Self Destructing Cookies
- dkonofalski 10y ago1Password isn't compatible with multi-process? That sucks. :( I use 1Pass for everything but I use Chrome right now. I've been eyeing Firefox again (it used to be my primary browser) but that kinda kills the deal for me. I'll probably start integrating it slowly. I can't imagine 1Pass will hold out for too long.
- bad_user 10y agoI've been using 1Password and a multi-process Firefox without any issues.
- cpeterso 10y agoHere is the e10s bug about 1Password and it was resolved fixed in 2015. It might not be included in the initial extension whitelist for the Firefox Release channel but should work if you force-enable e10s or use Firefox Nightly. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1042195 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1042195
- MagerValp 10y agoIt's only the 1Click bookmark feature that doesn't work, no apparent issues with the rest of the extension. Details here: https://discussions.agilebits.com/discussion/67388/browser-extension-does-not-work-with-multi-process-firefox-e10s-on-os-x/p2 https://discussions.agilebits.com/discussion/67388/browser-e...
- disiplus 10y agoLastpass + Self Destructing Cookies for me :(

- dingdingdang 10y agoSimply look under "about:support" tab for Multiprocess Windows to see if enabled or not. You can also force enable it in "about:config" by setting browser.tabs.remote.autostart to TRUE if its not already (note this does circumvent having to disable non-compatible plugins such as Firebug).
- JasonSage 10y agoI figured this out for myself by doing a force opt-in to multiprocess, and then I removed extensions which were obviously broken. If you're only using a few extensions (not parent), this could work very well for you.
- lukaa 10y agoI forced multiprocessing anyway but i don't know is there any bad effect.
