user style sheet is not working after update to 51.0.1, adblocker also not working
After update to Firefox 51.0.1 i am having multiple problems. First, the css file I have used forever, userContent.css in the chrome directory is no longer being applied. I noticed this because Drudge now has link underlines all over the place and I had set them to only show on hover. I also am getting ads now in all kinds of places I didnt before, as if the plugin Disconnect has stopped working entirely. This is occurring in two different instances of Firefox on two different computers after the latest update. Both have the same problems. Both are very annoying. Any ideas what went wrong?

This can happen because you use multi-process tabs.
- Bug 1333157 - userContent.css is ignored by Firefox 51
You can disable multi-process tabs in Firefox by setting the related prefs to false on the about:config page.
- browser.tabs.remote.autostart = false
- browser.tabs.remote.autostart.2 = false
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

Thank you for the prompt response, i was getting massively depressed at the change in the workflow. I always wondered why Firefox wasnt multiprocess. One question though is if this was rolled out in 48, why it did not affect until 51.0.1? Or perhaps my browsers were not switched until then? Release notes are a good place to warn about such momentous changes. Thanks again. Back to normal. Phew...
