For those who don't notice the speed, multiprocess may be disabled due to certain addons. Go to about:support to check if it enabled. The addon compatibility checker addon can tell you which are the offending addons. For me 1password was the big blocker, but they recently released a beta that works with the new API. Sorry for the lack of links, I'm on mobile.

Oh interesting. Firefox still seems slow and a bit of a memory hog compared to Chrome on my machine. Sure enough I checked and three add-ons are marked as legacy (and presumably disabled the multiprocess stuff): uBlock Origin, Websocket Disabler, and NoScript.

  At least uBlock Origin is compatible with multi-processes. I'm using it right now. Firefox 55 marks classic extensions as legacy, this has nothing to do with multi-process comparability.

    Yep, not legacy, but "not compatible with multiprocess" is what it should show for offending addons.

      Well, how can one determine which addons are multi-process compatible?
