Multi-process Firefox 48.x+

Type about:config in the address bar. Search for dom.ipc.processCount and enter in the the number of concurrent processes you wish to allow (I have 8 virtual CPU cores and opted to use 8 processes, though this does not need to be based on the number of cores your machine has).

Multiple Plank Docks

Assuming you have plank installed and running on your Linux distro, you may wish to add an additional dock. First check your plank configuration directory to see the name/location of your existing dock: ➜ plank ls -la ~/.config/plank total 16 drwxr-xr-x 4 nick nick 4096 Jun 1 12:47 . drwx—— 113 nick nick 4096 JunContinue reading Multiple Plank Docks
