Firefox issue after enable multi core support

[jnelsoninjax]

I'm using version of 49.0.1and after some tweaking got multi-core support enabled, but now I can not seem to copy/paste (randomly per site) and my add-on Clipe which allows me to store multiple items on the clipboard will not paste anything except the latest entry. I am also having issue when I search via Google (or other search engine) when I click on t he link nothing  happens, I have to right click- open in new tab in order to get it to work. These issues did not start until I enabled the multi-core support. Should I go ahead and disable it and see if the issue(s) are resolved?

Multicore support is not enabled by default

It is if all your add-ons & plugins are compatible.

You mean multi-process (aka e10s), right?

My guess would be it's caused by an extension/addon installed. My Firefox with e10s enabled works fine, copy and paste and all.

Does e10 give a performance boost or enhancement? Or should I just disable it?

What extensions do you have installed in Firefox?

All add ons have to be compatible. I just read yesterday that it is best not to force it in Fx 49.0.1. It will work better with Firefox's Beta fx 50 B6.

Force Enable

If you've tried enabling e10s following the instruction above, but your about:support indicates that e10s is disabled (e.g., accessibility, add-ons can trigger this), you can force e10s on for testing purposes. Within about:config create a new boolean pref named browser.tabs.remote.force-enable and set it to true. This is not encouraged, use it at your own risk!

That's... a lot of extensions. Have you tried disabling them all and seeing if the issue still exists? If the issue doesn't persist after disabling all extensions you'll know it's one of them causing it. You can then try enabling them one-by-one (restarting Firefox each time you enable an extension and retesting) and retesting for the issue until you come upon the culprit.

 

Personally, I keep both my Firefox, Chrome, Edge, Vivaldi, etc. light with the bare minimum of extensions and I never encounter browser issues like crashes and copying and pasting not working.

For those that use many extensions, here is a great website to check e10 compatibility: https://arewee10syet.com/

Only 4 of my add-ons are e10 compatible. Guess I'll undo what I did to force it, since it's not acting right.

From what I read on this at this point in it's development it is best to use e10's without any extensions.

That is unfortunate. I only run a few add-ons and can get by without them if need be, so e10s are a welcomed addition. I remember when e10s were first introduced into the nightly builds many moons ago, those were some buggy times until extensions started to update their code. I just periodically check that website to see if any new extensions pop up or any updates, i do have one or two that are not compatible that i would still like to use.

Jesus Christ, 95% of those extensions are worthless waste of space and processing power, there's no way you "need" all that junk
