Nightly build id 20170514030207: I am unable to run multiprocessCompatible = false addon. I get "...has been disabled since it is not multiprocess compatible." message in about:addons. I have manually set multi-process mode to false in Preferences. My understanding is that, at least in release versions, multiprocessCompatible = false addon would simply force the browser to run in single process mode. The condition that exists currently in Nightly makes it impossible to test multiprocessCompatible = false addons. I have an addon of such case that I do not wish to make multi-process compatible as that would involve much work only to be obsolete within a few months when WebExtensions takes over. Yet I still wish to maintain the addon for my users who wish to continue to use it in single process mode.

Thanks, `extensions.allow-non-mpc-extensions = true` cleared it up for me. (bug 1356027)
