Content Process Limit ( v57b4 )
I'm seeing something different between my desktop and laptop installs......they are both Win10 / 64-bit. On the laptop, when I un-check "Use Recommended Performance Settings", Content Process Limit becomes selectable ( 1 - 7 ) .... however, on the desktop, it stays grayed out and at (1). I did go in and manually set to (7) ( dom.ipc.processCount ).....it now shows (7), but still grayed out.....and in Task Manager, I'm still only seeing (1) process. Both installs have the same Addons installed........

Are both computers running the same (or nearly the same) CPU? That may make a difference in the way Firefox can use multiple processes.

Re: Content Process Limit ( v57b4 )
What version (from Help -> About Firefox) are you running on the desktop?
If on the address bar you enter about:support and then scroll down to "Multiprocess Windows", what does it say on the desktop next to "Multiprocess Windows"?
Are you running the same versions of the extensions on both machines? You may have to hover the mouse over the names on the Extensions page to see the version numbers. (Checking for updates of extensions typically occur daily unless one disables automatic extension updates, and then the check is usually done against where the extension was loaded from, which can be confusing at times.)

DanRaisch: No, CPU's are different
therube: 12 GB in desktop / 16 GB in laptop
Mark12547: Both installs are 57b4 .... showing " 0/1 (Disabled) " .... yes, all extensions are identical.
Obviously, it showing "disabled" would seem to be the issue.....I just saw it the other day, but can't find it now....what's the About:Config entry for forcing it "on"?

Re: Content Process Limit ( v57b4 )
I found the setting and set it to True......I'm now showing:
Multiprocess Windows : 1/1 (Enabled by user)
Web Content Processes : 8/7
So I guess all is good now......Thanks!
