Content process limit option disappeared from setting page

Post by rotmex »

Excessive memory usage 10GB, over 50 content processes

Hello,
Since last of firefox updates, the option 'Content Process Limit' totally disappeared. I get over 50 processes and 10GB RAM usage, all because I previously used to override electrolysis with browser.tabs.remote.autostart -> false in about:config.
It wont appear even after resetting this configuration back. Then I searched every entry that i thought might be related to the situation and reset to default (or delete if it wasn't there in the first place), but the option 'Content Process Limit' wont show:

browser.tabs.remote.autostart
browser.tabs.remote.autostart.2
browser.tabs.remote.force-enable
dom.ipc.processCount
browser.launcherProcess.enabled
layers.acceleration.disabled
browser.preferences.defaultPerformanceSettings.enabled

(all of them I reset or deleted if they weren't there at first)

I posted in mozilla support some days ago, but currently there's no much answer there. (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1359856)

I'll appreciate if you try to solve it.

It solves the problem. I just read in a post here and changed fission.autostart to false and it solves the problem.

There's other issue - containers tabs can't be enabled (the option is greyed). I don't know to attach a screenshot here. Multiple Tab Handler (add-on) requires Containers Tabs to be enabled.
