You 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".

  You 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...

    Ah ok thanks, didn't realize that this info was only available because I have the add-on installed.

    Firefox: Trouble managing your addons? Here, have this other addon!

      But don't worry, we've bundled all these other tools that nobody wants into FF itself!

    How great would it be if that add-on were incompatible with multiprocess?

    Yeah, 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. :)
