Willing to activate multiprocess function in my firefox but i was blocked by
addon x-notifier 3.5.23 ( i'm a heavily user of it) wich is not compatible with multiprocess

I'm trying to install 
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/xnotifier-neo/

This add-on has not been reviewed by Mozilla ... yet ..

and when i try to install it on  FF v48.0.2 (euroballot-1.1)   it says : "addon corrupt"

Any clue to use multiprocess and xnotifier in FF ?

to find if e10s (electrosys multiprocessing) is working in FF48.x.x 
Check about:support and look for a number higher than 0 in the "Multiprocess Windows" entry
If you would like to opt-in, open about:config and toggle browser.tabs.remote.autostart to true. On your next restart, e10s should be active.
i've tried enabling e10s following the instruction above, but  about:support indicates that e10s is disabled for addon incompatibility.
i've installed add-on-compatibility-reporter  https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporte...
this add on give after restart compatibility information

finally i've force e10s on for testing purposes. i've disabled X-notifier add on and within about:config create a new boolean pref named browser.tabs.remote.force-enable and set it to true
after restart multiprocess was enable ,then i've enabled X-notifier all seems working fine.
but the add on is always tagged with a "not compatible with multiprocess"

In forced multiprocess mode , x-notifier is not capable to change account , all gmail  button in x-notifier toolbar open the same gmail mailbox ,but the incoming mail number notification is correct.

I did enable Multiprocess Windows mode (E10S) on Firefox 48 and learned that after tweaking about:config X-notifer can't switch Outlook/Hotmail accounts.

Changes made for E10S:
* browser.tabs.remote.autostart=true
* extensions.e10sBloc­kedByAddons=false
* extensions.e10sBloc­ksEnabling=false
* browser.tabs.remote.force-enable=true

Note. X-notifer can check the new emails from secondary Outlook accounts, but it can't open them (pages only open in default account).

Probably v.4 will be multiprocess compatible because is a WebExtension version. According to Mozilla, all addons in WebExtension format will be E10S compliant.

Please try to uninstall/reinstall X-notifier.
