I saw an article that mentioned that multi-process is actually disabled on Ubuntu because Ubuntu has the Ubuntu modifications extension which causes an issue with multi-process. Removing the Ubuntu modifications extension apparently re-enables multi-process.
It was an article on OMGUbuntu:<br>

<div>The new version of Firefox is available today for my laptop. This is version 54, which has the multi-process thing (Electrolysis) enabled by default for everyone.<br>
<br>

<br>
</div>
My current version is 53.0.3 (Xubuntu 16.04), and it works well, with Auto Unload Tab, even with 400+ tabs (yes, I know, I know).<br>
<br>
</div>
Anyone tried the new 54 version? Any observations, positive or negative?<br clear="all">
