Add support for e10s #50

Open jgkamat opened 9 years ago

jgkamat commented 9 years ago

In the latest versions of firefox, mozilla is adding support for multithreading. Pentadactyl should work to being compatable with this eventually, right now it is completely unusable. So far ex commands seem to work fine, but any movement (among other things) is broken. I've attached a paste of me using it for a few seconds. Pentadactyl works fine w/o e10s enabled!

This page seems relevant. This seems like a long term goal, but I'm just putting it out there, because this will eventually be default in firefox, and it would be great if pentadactyl could support it before then!

paste data my pentadactylrc, it seems to be breaking up on map commands...

Hm, back when this was hosted on google code, there was a feature request thread about this, but I guess it wasn't transfered here. This is known problem, firefox had some experimental code for this for long time, but it looks like it's gonna go enabled by default really soon (3-6 months).

It doesn't break just pentadactyl tho, it breaks many common extensions.

At this point, all ~20 of the extensions I use work with e10s, except pentadactyl.

Seeing as e10s is default very soon, a fix for this would be appreciated. If no-one has time, where should I get started looking to try and fix myself?

Any chance devs can make this milestone for next stable version?

Pentadactyl works with 41 Developer Edition if multi-process is turned off. It if is turned on pentadactyl url line is often red and searching through the page doesn't work.
