Thank you for using Firefox Nightly. Using Nightly is helpful to the Mozilla community because it provides improved feedback on changes that are being made in Firefox. | |||
'''This restriction is reversible'''. To do so go to about:config, look for the setting .... and set it to false. | The Firefox team is focusing on performance for Firefox 57. The majority of testing and performance data comes from Firefox Nightly users who provide telemetry back to Mozilla. Unfortunately add-ons that are not WebExtensions make performance measurements on Nightly much harder. Especially add-ons that are not multi-process compatible and use shims. | ||
So we can quickly get measurements on the results of changes to Firefox, we are asking all Firefox Nightly users to stop using add-ons that are not multi-process compatible, or are not WebExtensions. | |||
If you've seen a message like this: | |||
It means you've got some add-ons that are not multi-process compatible or are not WebExtensions. | |||
'''This restriction is reversible'''. To do so go to about:config, look for the setting: | |||
''extensions.allow-non-mpc-extensions'' | |||
...and set it to ''true''. | |||
However we'd like you to consider not reversing this preference. Leaving it set to false will give the Firefox performance team a much clearer idea of how much better we are making Firefox. | |||
