(Keywords: addon-compat, Whiteboard: [amo-author-notified]) 

* The progress bar functionality works
* The thumbnail preview beside tab name does not work: it appears empty for most tabs, though disabling/re-enabling it makes it works for some of the existing tabs (no pattern visible to me).

Version tested: Informational Tab 0.5.2014100302 on Firefox 36.0a1 (2014-11-16)
Dev website: http://piro.sakura.ne.jp/xul/_informationaltab.html.en
Addon page: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/informational-tab/

FYI: the addon was not on arewee10syet.com, probably not popular enough. It is also bundled in Tab Extensions (TBE) according to developer website.

Keywords: addon-compat
Also:
* The "Emphasise unread tabs" option does not work perfectly : sometimes tabs remain "unread" (i.e. italic title), especially reopened closed tabs (Ctl+Shift+T).

It seems a bit worse for the "Make tabs 'read' when: Tab contents are scrolled" option, I guess because it is more "difficult" for the addon to connect to the rendering process with e10s.
This still does not appear to be working fully.

The development version based on master/HEAD works for me.

Tested on Nightly 46.0a1 (Build ID: 20160104030217)
Anyway I'll release a new version as soon.
With Firefox 57 only WebExtensions are permitted and are, by default, e10s compatible.
