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.
Check about:support.
i.e. Multiprocess Windows 1/1 (Enabled by default)

I'm stuck as half the addons I find useful aren't compatible.
The two most notable are 1password and Self Destructing Cookies

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 can? Where? (Of course, it may be a version thing.)

You can figure out what add-ons are compatible by cross-referencing http://www.arewee10syet.com/
Thanks; 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.

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.

You need an add-on for that: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compat... That's not enough though.

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