Firefox multiprocess is not enabled.
Firefox is very slow when multiple tabs are open. Multiprocess is not enabled. How can I enable it?

Hi !
Would you try this please :
Type in the address bar about:config (press Enter) (promise to be careful, if asked) Type and look for the preferences :
browser.tabs.remote.autostart and browser.tabs.remote.autostart.2
And set both values to true
There is a chance that multiprocess didn’t turn on because of incompatible add-ons.
To force-enable multi-process functionality in Firefox :
(It's recommended that you backup your user profile before you do)
Right-click and select : New => Boolean.
Name it : browser.tabs.remote.force-enable Set its value to true
Note that force-enabling is not encouraged.
What message do you see on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" page?

I had already checked that the browser.tabs.remote.autostart options were set to "true".

I don't know if you have many add-ons, but would you take a look at this please :
I'm not sure about this add-on, but you could give it a try :

My extensions page already tells me which add-ons are incompatible with Multiprocess and I have disabled all of these which seems to have solved the problem!
