This is because when nsLayoutUtils::Initialize() is run in the parent process, the preferences are not yet read, while stylo blocklist depends on reading the pref there. It seems that child process would have preferences before that function is called, so the blocklist is effective in child process. I'm not sure how much do we care about stylo blocklist on non-e10s pages.
Chris, do you think this is something worth fixing?

I don't think we need to fix this because e10s is expected to be the default for nearly all users in 57. The two issues blocking e10s everywhere are legacy add-ons (which will be dropped in 57) and Windows a11y (expected to ship in 57).
