hi Erik, if you have any questions about add-on support for multiprocess Firefox (e10s), just drop by the #e10s IRC channel on irc.mozilla.org. MDN also has a good introduction:

Version 36.0a1, archlinux 64bit

I can confirm that Scriptish doesn't work properly with e10s enabled : no userscript is shown in the per-website scripts list, and thus they can't be enabled.

This issue has been there since the first e10s nightly version.

Let me edit the previous statement :

After clicking twice on the scripts list, it seems they DO appear in it. However, they do not actually alter the webpage content as they are supposed to.

Sorry about that confusion.

Attachment: Before : after e10s.

On the left : without e10s.
On the right : with e10s.

Background, menus, topbar, share buttons, etc. should be the same on both pages.

Thanks for confirming this bug, Nicolas.

Erik, are you the maintainer of Scriptish? It isn't compatible with e10s. Just drop by the #e10s IRC channel on irc.mozilla.org if you have questions about support e10s. MDN also has a good introduction:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/Working_with_multiprocess_Firefox

Scriptish will need to load the script files in the chrome/parent process but run them in a frame script within hte content/child process to access web content.

The developers have also been contacted through AMO.

[Erik Vold [:erikvold] (please needinfo? me)]

I'll try to look into it soon, hopefully someone else will be able to help out.  Afaict e10s won't ship until around June 2nd so I hope I still have some time to work on this..

This is still not working correctly, maybe they need a rebase as greasemonkey appears to be working in e10s.
