We are working on ways to make add-ons like adblock work with e10s on
desktop without major changes to the add-on. That mechanism might work
for the thumbnail case. Gavin can reach out to trev and discuss whether
this is something we should try to make work. I do agree this isn't
super high priority right now though and we can live with this behavior
for thumbnails. Using e10s for this is really cool and greatly improves
responsiveness, after all.

The experiment you're referring to was Adblock running in Firefox with

differences between that scenario and the background content processes
being used for the background thumbnailing service that might not make
the two cases directly comparable.
It would be valuable for an adblockplus developer to investigate, certainly.
Unless I missed something, this is about Adblock Plus supporting the original
incarnation of Firefox Mobile, the one with two separate processes for chrome
and content. This code is long gone in the current Adblock Plus versions - it
was a real pain to support due to lots of unavoidable code duplication. The
last version still having it is Adblock Plus 1.3.10.
The code in question was explicitly running in Firefox Mobile only. It used
messageManager.loadFrameScript() API to inject code into the content process of new tabs - I
doubt that it will work the same here, Adblock Plus would probably need to look explicitly for
these<browser remote="true"> elements (is there an event when they are
created?).
Altogether, supporting this in Adblock Plus should be possible - but it will
require significant amounts of additional code and introduce quite a bit of new
complexity. I also have doubts whether this is work that should receive
priority.
