This is a question I've asked before, but I'll ask it again for clarity:<br>
does this count towards the content process count as defined by<br>
dom.ipc.processCount?<br>

As of last week[1], WebExtensions on Windows now run in a separate content<br>
process by default. In general, this shouldn't make any observable<br>
difference (aside from better responsiveness) for users, but it has turned<br>
up some UI bugs[2][3][4][5] in non-tab remote browsers. If you come across<br>
any other issues, please file a bug[6].<br>
<br>
OOP add-on support for Linux and OS-X are currently targeted for some time<br>
after the 57 release, but you can still test them by setting the<br>
"extensions.webextensions.remo<wbr>te" preference to true.<br>
