| **The existing version of Zotero for Firefox does not work with e10s enabled** and would require a significant rewrite to do so. As Mozilla is discontinuing the XUL/XPCOM technology that the full version of Zotero for Firefox is based on, we've decided not to update the extension for e10s. Instead, we will be releasing a lightweight "connector" for Firefox that works with Zotero Standalone, similar to the connectors for Chrome and Safari, using Mozilla's new WebExtension framework. Existing users of Zotero for Firefox will be upgraded to the Firefox connector before e10s is rolled out by default. | **Zotero 4.0 for Firefox does not work with e10s enabled** and would require a significant rewrite to do so.

| If you're currently using a release version of Firefox, e10s shouldn't be enabled if you have Zotero or most other add-ons installed, but you may have force-enabled it manually. You can go to about:support in the Firefox address bar and look at "Multiprocess Windows" in the page that comes up. It should say "Disabled". If enabled, you can [[https://wiki.mozilla.org/Electrolysis#Force_Enable|revert your settings]] to prevent e10s from being force-enabled and allow Zotero to continue to work. | If you're currently using a release version of Firefox, e10s shouldn't be enabled if you have Zotero or most other add-ons installed, but you may have force-enabled it manually.
