Typo I think. Robert Heaton explains the problem. Something called SimilarWeb is apparently the guilty party.

That would be a bad typo. I just rechecked the mozilla link, and they have not reversed the disable notice and warning. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out. (heaven forbid mozilla is now playing politics by blackballing addons...) -- David C.

Seems there is more to it than a typo. Stylish is now gone from both Chrome and Firefox: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/software/chrome-and-firefox-pull-styli... -- David C.
