Tried turning back on - e10s. It will make only particular tab to crash rather than whole browser.

 

Also FX is moving with e10s on, so you should expect more issues, if it is turned off.

Go to 'about:support' and confirm whether it is turned on or off:

Now go to 'about:preferences#general' and tick the 'Enable multi-process Firefox'.

In about:support it says it is disabled by adons. Which one would do that? I Toggled it to true in about:config.

Some accessibility addon might be causing the issue. Since accessibility causes issues with the electrolysis currently.

 

Can you post screenshot from about:support for the Extensions section?

Only way could be to try by turning off addons one by one.

 

But you can review them from here - https://www.arewee10syet.com/

I have every add on disabled and it still says disabled by addon

 

0/1 (Disabled by accessibility tools)

it almost sounds like a profile corruption @Gary7 I would launch firefox from a run box with "Firefox.exe -p" to load the profile manager and try creating a new profile to see if that helps.

I did a refresh of Firefox and it still did not work. I then looked at my profile folder and there were like 8 or 9 different profiles. I can't understand how Fx worked at all??

It is most likely an accessibility option that is causing e10s to be disabled.

 

about:config

 

search for accessibility and snip a screenshot and post it here. You can also force disable accessibility so it wont do that.

Make following config to "accessibility.force_disabled" to 1 from 0.

Make it to 1 and restart browser and check 'about:support', whether the Multi-Process is now enabled or not.

 

If enable then try to navigate neowin to check whether it is still causing issue or not.

In about:config also make sure extensions.e10sBlocksEnabling and extensions.e10sBlockedByAddons are set to false too. Personally I also make sure browser.tabs.remote.force-enable and layers.offmainthreadcomposition.testing.enabled and browser.tabs.remote.autostart are all set to true (if they don't exist, create them as boolean). That forces e10s enabled for me.

all of the accessibility options need to be default, anything bold or userset will turn e10s off. You have many that are user set.

Just now, Gary7 said:

OK I have done all of that now how do I see if it is working?

click the menu button and see if an option for new tabs is non-e10, or under settings multiprocess should be checked.

    • TerraMaster F2-425 Pro review: a low-powered Intel NAS that ships with AI (OpenClaw)

      By Steven P. · Posted

      I agree, especially if it is cloud sourced, like this one is.. but I wouldn't say no to a local AI assistant similar to the Zettlab one which would be really helpful with my large Photos library, but also to perform tasks like installing Docker apps rather than me having to do it via Docker Compose, but I don't think we're quite there yet. Synology Photos is somewhat AI, you can ask it to search for certain people (if you have tagged them and it will attempt to match similar photos to the person) and if you put a search term in for "cars" for example, it will show you all photos with a car.

      I doubt that Google will keep the same price... it may go up from that list published.
    • Sennheiser's audiophile grade HD 600 hits lowest ever price on Amazon Prime Day 2026

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Sennheiser's audiophile grade HD 600 hits lowest ever price on Amazon Prime Day 2026 by Sayan Sen If you are in the market for high-quality audiophile-grade over-ear headphones then Sennheiser's HD 600 are a great choice for sure, especially today on Prime Day 2026 as the product has hit its lowest ever price (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Sennheiser HD 600 has long been regarded as a reference headphone for listeners seeking a detailed and natural listening experience. It is an open-back design that is built around the idea of acoustic transparency which is essentially said to allow sound waves to move freely for a more spacious and accurate presentation by reducing turbulence and the type of distortion that can result from it. At the heart of the product is Sennheiser’s proprietary driver system featuring a 42 mm driver paired with a lightweight diaphragm and aluminum voice coils. The company says this design helps deliver fast response times and better articulate sound across the audible frequency range. Comfort and durability are also key aspects of the HD 600 as the headphones feature soft velour ear pads designed for extended listening sessions. The HD 600 comes with a detachable 3-meter cable, a 6.3 mm stereo connector, and a 3.5 mm adapter for compatibility with a wide range of audio equipment. The technical specs of the Sennheiser HD 600 are given in the table below: Specification Value Transducer Principle Dynamic, Open-Back Ear Coupling Circumaural (Over-Ear) Frequency Response 12 Hz – 40,500 Hz Sound Pressure Level (SPL) 97 dB (1 V) Impedance 300 Ω Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) < 0.1% (1 kHz, 1 V) Cable Length 3 m (9.8 ft) Connector 3.5 mm Stereo Jack Plug Included Adapter 6.3 mm (1/4") Stereo Jack Adapter Weight 260 g Magnetic Field Strength 1.8 mT Driver Size 42 mm Dynamic Driver Diaphragm Size 38 mm Get it at the link below: Sennheiser HD 600: $237.00 (Sold by Electronics Expo, Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $449.95) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      So the card is targeted at headphone users - so the review should be from someone that uses this - maybe I can review a card next time.
