It's compatible enough to function. So I don't see an issue. I've been using it for years with multiple processes.

[physkets]

But the 'Add-on Compatibility Reporter' add-on marks it as being incompatible.

[JanHBade]

and when not all addons compatible Firefox dont switch in the new MutiThreading Mode...

I think this is a big issue...

[grssam]

@JanHBade Then we should mark this addon as compatible. Unless you give me specifics about why its incompatible

So? It's a kludgy, silly system. Addons are only marked compatible only when the author specifies it. (Whether it's actually compatible or not)

It more certainly isn't. Just use browser.tabs.remote.force-enable;true
The setting is specified in the wiki page you linked.

True, so if it is actually compatible, it would be nice if the author marked it so (of course, after appropriate testing)

Any docs on how to do that?

[physkets]

@grssam So were you able to verify if it actually is e10s compatible?

[JanHBade]

any update here?

[sdar]

I've found some issues if shims are disabled, but i don't have time atm to look at it, so it's probably not 100% compatible but it's very close.

Still firefox 57+ will create a lot of problems for keeping this addon working (and it'll work only on unstable releases).

Is a Web Extensions version possible ?

I'm quite sure it's not.
