in Firexfox 49 I just enabled Multiprocess Windows.

browser.tabs.remote.autostart set to true, also extensions.e10sBlockedByAddons to false and adding browser.tabs.remote.force-enable equal to true.

But still 1 process for Firefox.

  • I disabled all add-ons but Firebug, btw.
  • I'm using Windows 10 - 64bit

I did something wrong?

Here is about:support screenshot:

  • What does your "Multiprocess Windows" value show up as in about:support? If it's any consolation, I couldn't get this working either.

    @AdamKalisz I've tried all of those steps and run into the same problem as OP. Same system (Win10 x64) and same Firefox release. Multiprocess Windows shows as "1/1 (Enabled by user)" as it should; it just doesn't actually run more than one process.

  • I don't know much more about it, but it was rather complicated, when more processes actually get started. Firebug is unknown: arewee10syet.com if it works, try disabling it as well maybe? Multi-content process is in the works so it seems: wiki.mozilla.org/Electrolysis/Multiple_content_processes (Linked from wiki.mozilla.org/Electrolysis#Schedule_and_Status) You are still running more threads so it isn't that bad.

Seems like enabling e10s not working on Firefox for now, so I just installed Firefox beta (currently v50) and after disabling all add-ones, I could get 2 processes for Firefox (by following mentioned steps in my question).

BTW, As you know, Firebug doesn't work if you enable e10s and you have to work with Firefox's dev console. it's not bad, but maybe a little uncomfortable if you are Firebug guy

More info about that: Firebug 3 & Multiprocess Firefox (e10s)

Windows aside, for a moment, with the current implementation of e10s it's normal to find:

  • no more than one process for all tabs

– https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=211233#c12 describes the content process in a FreeBSD context.

    If you use Beta or Developer edition or even Nightly, you can have one process for each tab.

  • Thanks @MehdiDehghani (aside: none of those are ported to FreeBSD; re: forums.freebsd.org/threads/53082/#post-297965 I might try (on FreeBSD) a version for Linux).
