Oh, yeah...I knew about that, from version 50-something on, even wrote a few posts on it, if you check under my DW Firefox tag (https://marahmarie.dreamwidth.org/?tag=firefox&skip=12).

It's just... *checks Firefox tag, myself* it was supporting max four processes through 56 (https://wiki.mozilla.org/Electrolysis), even if e10s was able to run on your hardware and/or with your add-ons (those were the two checks Mozilla made; if either failed they put you on single process through those updates, if I recall correctly).

The first time Firefox official was released with e10s they kept me off multi-process, so I uninstalled/re-installed Fx from scratch, went with all non-legacy add-ons, and had multi-process working on it ever since (even with Legacy add-ons in later releases, because they unset the flag for that toward the end) - on this laptop anyway...I didn't even pay attention/really care about the other, kitchen laptop; it's so slow nothing helps it much, anyhow).

The uptick from four processes to five kind of alarmed me, that was all (and I see now I completely forgot to mention it was the uptick from four to five that concerned me; comparing it to ESR's one process just made the difference a bit more startling)...but it's not affecting computer performance (using the Dev Edition right now, and so far, I still couldn't be much happier unless it supported add-ons I miss most...if I had any money, for example, I'd totally pay someone just to get the add-on bar back).
