Can I use e10s (multiprocess) in Firefox Dev Edition?

I am using Firefox Developer Edition because I need the browser toolbox features for my work creating add-ons. However, I really like speed boost from the new experimental multi-process feature (electrolysis/e10s).

I've seen lots of articles showing going to about:preferences in Nightly, but that check box doesn't appear in Dev Edition. I was thinking it might be possible to enable it via about:config...can I do that? I seem to remember a way, but can't find it anymore.

Is there any way to get E10S in other versions of Firefox besides Nightly?

It sounds like the experimental feature has not made it to that release yet. Can't enable a feature that has not been added yet. – Ramhound – 2015-05-14T00:11:22.203

@Ramhound : That is what I would expect, except that I've used it before in Aurora. I guess you're suggesting it's been removed. That would be sad. – Robbie Wxyz – 2015-05-14T03:54:57.143

The settings you're looking for are browser.tabs.remote.autostart and browser.tabs.remote.force-enable.
