Firefox 53.0.2 with more than one Firefox process! I get one process for every tab now! You have to set it up in about:config for this to happen at least to get one process for every tab.
I don't have that, and I have Win 7 w/ Firefox 53.0.2. I have one process for Firefox (5 tabs open), but it's huge...752,844k
Whoops...it says disabled by addons. But in the addons manager, it says multiprocess is enabled.

plus a couple more. It does say 2 are incompatible with multiprocess.
I'll go without multiprocess. Not getting rid of the Facebook ad block.

Quick question; why are you using 32bit FF?
Good question! I forgot to address this so thank you for reminding me! Main reason is because Firefox 64 bit was giving me some weird trouble and decided to just stay with the proven 32 bit for now. I don't mind upgrading to 64 bit though if I have to for one reason or another.
That's a perfectly valid reason of course. I'd recommend trying FF52 or newer in the x64 version. The older x64 versions did indeed have a few issues, but they appear mostly fixed now. It really helps if you have plenty of tabs open. You get ASLR protection as a bonus.
What's the multi process tweak (ie. more than two processes)?
With that tweak I get a pretty close result in the multi-tab loading job that I've been pitting FF and Chrome against. Memory usage is pretty similar as well.
