Is Firefox Multiprocess on or off? [SOLVED]

How can I tell if I have multiprocess on or off in FireFox. Is the only way to view the config for these parameters
set "browser.tabs.remote.autostart" and "browser.tabs.remote.autostart.2" to FALSE
Is that enough to ensure it is off, or do I also need
security.sandbox.content.level=0
I am currently on build 53, and wonder if I should upgrade to 54, as I get nagged constantly.
I have searched the forums to see if Firefox 54 works with sandboxie, but am very confused between Firefoxes native sandbox and stability with Sandboxie
thanks in advance

Hi Dan, you can tell if Firefox Multiprocess is on or not in Firefox Help/Troubleshooting information, there, look for Multiprocess Windows, it ll say Enabled or Disabled. You can also open Troubleshooting information by copying and pasting in Firefox Location bar (about:support), Click to Go.
And yes, no need to wonder nothing about updating Firefox or not. Firefox 54.0.1 is running great under Sandboxie.

Theres no need to play with that setting above. You can enable or disable Multiprocess, do as you wish. Firefox runs great under SBIE with Multiprocess enabled or disabled.

In Troubleshooting window( both inside and outside of the sandbox) it says for "Multiprocess Windows-0/1 (Disabled by accessibility tools)"
It is the same whatever changed I make to
browser.tabs.remote.autostart
browser.tabs.remote.autostart.2
I have tried both at True or False
and I have tried
security.sandbox.content.level
at "0" and "1"
Now it seems I cannot get the multiprocess back on, or am I missing something else
Thanks
