Firefox plugin not compatible with new multiprocess feature

[bret_miller]

Are there plans to fix the nplansweepershellexec plugin so it is compatible with the new Firefox multiprocess feature? Multiprocess speeds up Firefox significantly, but if the Lansweeper plugin is enabled that feature is disabled because of the incompatibility.

Hi Bret,

We are currently working on a fix for this issue.
If you want I could send you a preview version that will enable you to use the multiprocess feature together with the functionality of the Lansweeper plugin.

To get your hands on a preview version all you need to do is to send a mail to support@lansweeper.com referencing this ticket and we'll take care of the rest.

This is probably not a compatibility issue but just due to the extension simply not being marked as 'being multiprocess compatible'. This is a relatively new feature, and we'll probably just need to add a small piece of code to mark it as compatible. We'll be looking into this soon.

You should be able to enable multiprocessing even though not all extensions have this option enabled by going to about:config in the URL bar and setting extensions.e10sBlockedByAddons to false. A restart will be needed. Current multiprocessing can be checked by going to about:support.
