Tested in Firefox Developer Edition 40.0a2 (2015-05-20)

See here for more details on multi-process firefox:

Same here, disabling multiprocessing seems to fix it.

Dear developer, any update on multi processing support or what is needed to support it?

hmh, http://arewee10syet.com/ lists LiveReload as compatible with e10s (Electrolysis). So multi-process enabled Firefox (to be rolled out in FF 46 or so) should be supported, I think.

I can confirm: Does not work with e10s on latest Firefox Developer Tools version 48.0a2 (2016-05-03). When disabling e10s in the settings, LiveReload works again.

Anybody knows an alternative to LiveReload? Seems like this project/addon is unmaintained...

Does not work with e10s, see also report at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1172415

Just for the record: I've been working with LiveReload the last months on a daily basis. So it works with current Firefox Developer Edition, which has e10s enabled. Just make sure that you try to connect to the livereload server while it is "waiting" and not running any tasks (the addon itself seems unmaintained)
