Fission should now be enabled. To verify it's enabled, load a webpage, hover over the tab, looking for a "[F]" (i.e. Fission) in the tab's tooltip popup. | |||
If you encounter an issue while using Fission, it is possible to open a non-fission window within the same browsing session using the "New Non-Fission Window" item in the hamburger menu. This can be useful to determine if issues are Fission-specific, or to work around fission-specific breakage. | |||
In general, avoid modifying other ''"fission.*"'' prefs, as they are often for testing, or unstable features very early in development, and aren't ready to be used for day-to-day browsing. | |||
To disable Fission, reset the ''"fission.autostart"'' pref to ''"false"'' and restart Nightly. | |||
