Intermittently fails to apply theme to Reddit
There's like a 50/50 chance of visiting Reddit and having it apply https://userstyles.org/styles/123908/reddit-slate-nights-fixed-custom-fork-dark. Once it successfully applies it will remain applied for the life of that browser Tab.
Edit: It looks like I'm encountering this bug with Stylish: https://github.com/openstyles/stylus/issues/295
Firefox 56.0.2
Stylish v3.0.1 (also tested Stylus but it had the same issue https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/styl-us/)
Windows 10 Pro x64 FCU

Basically, where does it fail? Which pages exactly? Does it ever fail on the front page? When it fails, does it fail completely, or are certain elements still styled? If Stylus was bugged on Reddit, I can pretty much guarantee I would've heard about it. Anything is possible, but it's a lot likelier that custom subreddit CSS is to blame.
For Firefox 56, use version 2.1.1 and disable automatic updating.

The problem is intermittent, if it was a Reddit's custom CSS functionality than wouldn't that make it a consistent issue?
Demonstration:
If it is that bug, it should be fixed in the most recent version of Stylus. I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for a bug fix from the Stylish dev. If it isn't that bug, you'd at least need to slow the demo vid down for me to come up with any guesses. I can tell you that none of those links are problematic with the current Stylus release in Chromium or Firefox.
Youtube has a Playback Speed setting for the videos. I'll give Stylus another shot.
The real issue was that I couldn't really tell if the failed tab was loaded in the background or not. You should probably know whether or not that's a good possibility. I'm interested to know if that was the case.
@João. was also right that there's no reason not to use the legacy Stylish if you're not updating to 57+, unless you're migrating now because you plan to.
1) Open a new blank tab (so there are 2 tabs)
2) Click a bookmark for the website.
3) Before the name in the tab changes from "New Tab" to the Reddit website name, click the other Tab.
4) The website will load in the tab that is now no longer in focus and without the theme being applied, even when returning to the tab containing Reddit (refreshing the page a couple times gets the theme to apply).
With current Stylus I can't reproduce the issue.
