Support Multi-Process Firefox (currently in Developer Edition)
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.
