Support Multi-Process Firefox (currently in Developer Edition)

Open pariser opened this issue 10 years ago • 0 comments

Firefox Developer Edition recently shipped with multi-process mode, where each tab runs in a separate process. It looks to be breaking the Rainbow extension (which is super useful - thanks!)

While running Firefox Developer Edition with multi-process mode on, Rainbow works when hovering over the browser's chrome and on certain special Firefox pages (about:preferences, etc.). It does not work on any websites.

I unchecked the "Enable multi-process Firefox Developer Edition" preference and restarted the browser; then Rainbow was working as intended. I checked the preference and restarted the browser; Rainbow was no longer working as intended.
