Due to server slowness, downtime, and other issues, Eclipse will be moving to a more stable and efficient platform that should result in much better stability. There is no timeline for this yet, just want you to know what's happening with all the downtime and I have a plan to fix it.

Solution for Wf Classic Multiprocess Crash / Greyed Out

Unread post by docR »

Ever since around v. 2020.12, there's in an incompatibility with Classic's AccessibleHandler.dll on certain Windows patch levels. This causes the checkbox for Multiprocess mode to be greyed out. Force-enabling this via boolean will result in an immediate appcrash at startup.

The solution, as pointed out by others on Github is to replace AccessibleHandler.dll in the application directory with the dll from an older version. For convenience, I've attached the affected dll from 2020.09.

After replacing it, the option to toggle multiprocess mode may still be greyed out. If so, create the following boolean in about:config

browser.tabs.remote.force-enable

and set it to true

It should now be enabled after restarting the browser. Simply uncheck Recommended Performance Settings and choose the number of content processes to your liking ;)

Remember to disable automatic updates!

I advise creating a scratch profile to test this on first, to avoid potential data loss in case of complications. It shouldn't be an issue, but just in case.....

(tested with Wf Classic 2021.03 on 7 x64)
