Question about stylish being blocked in the latest update
So Stylish was disable because of "security reasons" when I updated FireFox. I went and re-enabled it. My question is: Will I need to enable it every time I open the browser and will it permanently be removed at some point? If any of those answers are yes I'm gonna have to change browsers again cause I refuse to use a browser that won't allow me to customize my pages. It hurts my eyes when I see a white page during the night so Stylish literally saved me. Imo blocking Stylish is a really bad decision.

The block was made on July 4th before the 61.0.1 update today for a very valid reason. It will be disabled, not removed. Users will get a warning though with a request to (optionally) restart the browser.

As said you can switch to an alternative like Stylus, an offshoot from the good old version of Stylish that works in much the same way, minus the spyware. https://www.ghacks.net/2017/05/16/stylus-is-a-stylish-fork-without-analytics/

Stylish was blocked because it is sending your complete browsing history to the developer of the add-on. I suggest uninstalling it, and using Stylus, https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/styl-us/
It works almost exactly the same, but respects your privacy.
