The deployment of the asyncInit hotfix from bug 1196000 means that we need to rename the asyncInit pref in order to re-enable the feature.
We should make sure to get this checked in and uplifted to  beta before we build the RC for 41.
Aaron, do we have a patch ready for uplift to Beta on this one? We gtb Beta9 on Thursday.

Assigning to Petruta for a quick check on Beta 41, since this impacts the Async Plugin Init feature.

Verified that the pref dom.ipc.plugins.asyncInit.enabled is true on Firefox 41 beta 9 under Win 7 64-bit and Mac OS X 10.9.5 when using new profiles.

I've opened Firefox 41 beta 8 and set the old pref dom.ipc.plugins.asyncInit to false, then I've updated to Firefox 41 beta 9 (beta-localtest channel). After restart, both prefs were present. 
Is this expected? Will the old pref no longer be taken into consideration?

Seen with Aaron, this is expected. Marking as verified and removing the flag.

Verified as fixed using Firefox 42 beta 2 under Win 7 64-bit and Mac OS X 10.9.5.
Sorry for my ignorance, why we didn't set this to "false" for beta as well? It constantly hangs for me.

The short answer is that it is being shut off on 42 beta in bug 1216665 so that some other changes that I've made to IPC can be phased into release separately from this feature.
Verified that pref dom.ipc.plugins.asyncInit.enabled replaced the old pref in Firefox 43 beta 1. Currently it is set to false.
