FF56 in Win 10. I'm trying to enable multiprocess, and after disabling the remaining addon (after doing "Refresh"), about:support multiprocess shows "disabled by accessibility tools". After googling, in about:config I tried setting accessiblity.loadedinlastsession false and accessibility.lastloaddate reset, but those aren't being saved, so about:support still says multiprocess is disabled. Any suggestions on why the settings aren't sticking? Like I said, a Refresh didn't work. TY.

Hi  !

Could it be that after you toggled those preferences, you didn't close and then restart Firefox  ? That would explain it .....

You say that you're trying to enable Multi-process - did you set the values of these preferences to true:

browser.tabs.remote.autostart

browser.tabs.remote.autostart.2
