e10s (multi-process) compatibility reports at addons.mozilla.org (AMO)

Background

Waterfox Classic previously allowed an automated switch to single-process mode, in response to adding (or enabling) any extension that is incompatible with multi-process. This automation ended with Waterfox Classic 56.0.3.

e10s (multi-process) compatibility reports at addons.mozilla.org (AMO)

Begun at https://redd.it/8c77ii, but Reddit can not handle lists of this length.

This list includes some of the legacy extensions that were reportedly incompatible. Relevant reports were captured in the Internet Archive Wayback Machine; access to original reports ended in October 2018.

Known issues with extensions that require at least Firefox 57, when used with Waterfox 56

A few examples of issues that may occur.

Works with Firefox 57.0 and later

With Waterfox 56.2.0 on FreeBSD-CURRENT, the Decontain option causes disappearance of the tab.

Waterfox variations from Mozilla Firefox norms

A shortlist. I might like to attend to some of the preferences below after, say, a refresh of Waterfox.

Neither orderly, nor intended to be comprehensive …

Video statistics – media.video_stats.enabled
