Before removing Stylish, generate a “Backup” file you can use to move your user styles (themes) to another extension. A popular one is Stylus ([on the Add-ons site](https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/styl-us/)) but there are a few others as well ([list on Github](https://github.com/openstyles/stylus/wiki/Stylish-Alternatives); see also [Can’t Install Stylish (July 2018) on userstyles.org forums](https://forum.userstyles.org/discussion/68384/cant-install-stylish-july-2018)).

Here’s the process:

**(1) Call up Stylish’s “Manage All Styles” page**

_Note: You might need to re-enable Stylish on the Add-ons page first._

**(2) Click the “Backup all Installed” button and then Save the file**

**(3) Open the Downloads folder to the backup file using the “Open Containing Folder” button on the Downloads panel**

* * *

**(4) If you haven’t already, install the Stylus extension**

**(5) Call up Stylus’s Manage page**

* * *

**(6) Position the window with the Downloads folder so you can drag and drop the Stylish backup file onto the Stylus Manage page to import your styles**

That’s it. You can disable (or remove) Stylish now.

Yes, I noticed that earlier today and I have no idea why. I reposted them on one of my sites as a workaround since I don’t know how to fix them here: [Moving User Styles (Themes) from Stylish 3.x to Stylus](https://www.userchrome.org/stylish-to-stylus.html)

(Tuesday) I re-uploaded the images into the original post here. Hopefully they’ll stick.
