Searching about:config for e10s, I see I'm in the "disqualified-control" "e10s.rollout.cohort". Looking further, I see "extensions.e10sBlockedByAddons" and "extensions.e10sBlocksEnabling" are both true.

So, one or more add-ons are presumably incompatible with the feature, but even if I uninstalled those (which ones?) I might still be in Mozilla's control group, and there's no clear way to override that.

Currently, having any add-on installed will block it. In the future, they want to work with a whitelist, but for now, they are being extremely cautious with the rollout, since e10s is considered the biggest architectural change that Firefox has ever gone through.

Here's their (very preliminary and not terribly official) schedule: https://wiki.mozilla.org/E10s#Schedule

I think you can see the partial list of extensions at https://www.arewee10syet.com/ The result seems to be restricted to only few top extensions, though.

Edit: I remembered it used to have a lot more extensions listed, apparently they have recently rebuilt the site[1][2]:

The previous page was just a crappy Google Doc embedded into the page, so they probably tidied it up before release...
