Is RequestPolicy Continued Firefox e10s compatible?

[Diapolo]

Easy question, easy answer I guess :).

Is the current release 1.0beta12.4 (the latest offered via Mozilla addon site) Firefox e10s compatible or when will there be a compatible relase?

No... v1.0.beta12.4 is the current release of RequestPolicy continued.

<em:multiprocessCompatible>false</em:multiprocessCompatible>

However, using javaScript classes Environment, ProcessEnvironment and FrameScriptEnvironment there are already some thoughts in the code of RequestPolicy, which do seem to have Mozilla's Electrolysis (e10s) in mind.

RP is "not really" with e10s. Setting "multiprocessCompatible" activates the so-called shims, which makes an addon not always compatible with e10s. I don't know if RP works with e10s activated, I didn't test that for a while. In any case, because of mozilla's WebExtensions plan, RP needs to be written as a WebExtension, which will make RP e10s-compatible as well.

Just as a point of reference, I've had e10s enabled with RP for months now, with no obvious problems.

I'm currently working on a multiprocess compatibility, i.e., on the migration to WebExtension.
