Fission is still in active development, and can only be enabled in Firefox Nightly.
Fission was released to desktop [https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/95.0/releasenotes/ Firefox in version 95].

You can verify that Fission has been enabled by hovering over the current tab. If the tooltip contains a "[F]", Fission is enabled. Background tabs' tooltips might not have the "[F]" if they are not loaded yet.

If you encounter an issue while using Fission, it can be useful to create a new profile in about:profiles with the default settings (Fission will be OFF) and attempt to recreate the issue. This can be useful to determine if issues are Fission-specific. If you encounter an issue that only happens with Fission, please be sure to file a bug in Bugzilla about it as described above!
