How to run on trunk

  • Create a new profile! e10s will damage your current profile.
  • Make sure your build includes bug 868259 (it should - that bug has landed in m-c and been merged to larch)
  • Set browser.tabs.remote to true (it should already be that - firefox.js on larch has this as the default)
  • Set layers.acceleration.disabled to true (you need to set this explicitly)
  • Set layers.offmainthreadcomposition.prefer-basic to true (you need to set this explicitly)
  • Run firefox with MOZ_USE_OMTC=1

How to run on larch

Prototyping happens on https://hg.mozilla.org/projects/larch/. Builds from that repository should usually just work with a new profile (no pref changes). For debugging run with MOZ_DEBUG_CHILD_PROCESS=1.
