Make sure multiprocess is enabled. It will turn itself on automatically when available, but your add-ons may be causing it to become disabled. Thumbnail Zoom Plus and Advanced Cookie Manager are two add-ons that will cause it to be disabled.

Disable all your add-ons and then check the multiprocess status. Then turn them back on one by one until you have as many on as possible while still having multiprocess support.

This will make scrolling facebook and other shitty sites much easier.

Neat
>>
>>57586500
stop using firefox.
>>
>>57586500
this just seperates your GUI from the WebEngine you retard. If you want real multiprocess you will have to set processcount to >1

ublock origin is one of the add-ons that does support multiprocess, so what you just said is not true

I went back to fireshit because it didn't spawn 5000 processes and eat all my RAM.

It's like dumb faggots on /g/ don't realize that threads would be 100x better for a browser.
>>

I did not know that. I have set it to 20 processes now. Thank you.

Hi, you don't need to do this, there's an addon that tells you what addons are compatible with multi-process:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/

On FF50 multi process is enabled for any user who doesn't have at least on incompatible addon. You can force multi-process but obviously no one can be blamed if one non compatible addon misbehaves.
>>
>>57587911
Don't compare. Chrome was created from scratch and FF's API is much more flexible. They cannot just break compatibility with the huge ammount of addons suddenly.
>>
>noscript still not compatible
I don't care.

I'd use uMatrix instead but I used that for months and got sick of how much it fucks with everything.
>>
What if I use one window and multiple tabs? Will it change anything
>>
Why the hell would you want multiprocess? It sure doesn't make anything quicker.
>>
>>57588206
It's bad mostly because devs pretend it doesn't exist or is a "beta" feature they have no obligation to support, so e10s still breaks all but the most mainstream extensions
>>
>>57588334
>>57588343
Complete noob here, what number should I set dom.ipc.processCount to that is reasonable?

I have about 50 tabs open at all times.

Nigger, did you even update your Webview? Lightning is a webview-based browser.

I could never get e10s working. Not ~2 years ago, when it appeared in the Nightly builds, nor now. All of my addons are supposedly compatible with multiprocess - but nothing still works. I changed a couple of values in about:config - still nothing.

Oh, and FYI, I'm running XP - could that be the cause?

Nice. Here's how made firefox faster:
I stopped using it on a laptop.
>>
>>57592043
>FF's API is much more flexible.
It will be dropped anyway.

Basically it will have a 100% Chrome like addons:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions
>>
>>57593267
Lightning uses the in-built Android renderer.
You have to use Marshmallow+ to have Play Store update it.

But yes, it is still a bit slower than Chrome.
Free Adblock Browser > Lightning+ > Anything else > FF (fucking (slow) fox).
>>
>>57587554
Shut the fuck up, faggot!
>>
>>57597606
Funny how Firefox is actually faster and scored better on benchmarks than Chromium.
>>
>>57588343
>>57588303
So the maximal number is 20?
>>
>>57593197
Incorrect unless you are using XP or Vista. Windows processes became dual-core utilized with 7 and quad-core+ with 8 and 10.
>>
>>57597595
> We plan to add our own APIs based on the needs of existing Firefox add-ons.
https://wiki.mozilla.org/WebExtensions
>>
>>57596601
Yes, e10s isn't comint to XP, and support for it will be droped altogether in Firefox 53. You can use Firefox ESR 52 until mid-2018

it's not really completely incompatible though, i have SD cookies enabled and Multi process works

I know how to make it work by installing a font but it is supposed to be native now?
>>
>>57599796
you have to forcefully enable it yourself or it shuts down by itself if partially incompatible or incompatible addons are enabled to make sure it doesn't crash
>>

about:config, moron

But I tried without any addons installed.

Well, searching google for items during the last 7 days has given me absolutely no more idea about enabling them. What exactly am I looking for in about:config. There is nothing for 'emoji'. Sorry for not being physic and knowing the secret codewords.
>>
>>57597941
Well, fuck. What am I fucking supposed to do, then? Webkit browsers use the system's SSL certificates, and those on XP are running out. I already can't visit certain websites (these using "Let's Encrypt", for example). Thankfully, Firefox has these certificates bundled with the browser, and keeps them up-to-date (when using Firefox).

What am I supposed to fucking do? I can't fucking move to GNU/Linux or a newer Windows version.
