To sumarize it:

In the adressbar write about:config, answer yes to the warning, search for variables line after line and set the to values to those after equal sign:

browser.tabs.remote.autostart=true

extensions.e10sBloc­kedByAddons=false

extensions.e10sBloc­ksEnabling=false

Create a variable (or key for those who think of this as some kind of registry) with a boolean value (Right click in the pane with search results, Select "new"): browser.tabs.remote.force-enable=true

Restart browser, than go to about:support and as @gagarine mentioned, in Multiprocess Windows, there should be "1/1 (user activated)".

Update:

Now in Firefox 54, you should have Electrolysis on by default. You should check out the option dom.ipc.processCount and if it is still 1, turn it higher to match the physical core count or if you know you use hyperthreading (most Core i7 and i3 on desktop, most Core i5 and i7 in laptops, AMD Ryzen) it is double that. (You can also see that in Task Manager under performance on Windows and in top or cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep processor on Linux).
