Hi there! :)
Firefox multiprocess / electrolysis is a great and very important upcoming feature, and unfortunately, Shelve is the only addon I have that is not compatible with it. :( Is there any way it can be made compatible with a new update? :)
Best wishes, your addon is pure gold! :)

I'm aware of this problem. Unfortunately, if I made shelve compatible
with electrolysis, this would give us only half a year or so. Soon
XUL-based addons will be replaced with webextensions. There currently is
no way to re-implement shelve as a webextension.

While it shouldn't be too difficult to adapt shelve's source code for
compatibility with electrolysis, I currently have no plans / time to do
so since the addon will most likely die anyway in the very near future.

Regards
