What do i need to do to stop this madness?! In one of my profiles, i keep getting update available for one style and have to uncheck Update box every single time.
All exts. set to manual update as well as the browser yet, every so often the 'update available' for this one particular style pops up. Is there some other place/thing i need to do to get it working (other than uninstalling the style)?

Jason, some response would be nice. Do you have any ideas why this is happening and what i need to do to stop it, other than uninstalling the style?
There are a couple of issues with 2.0.0. (Sorry, I fell behind and didn't test b4.)
First, thank you very much for giving us back the "check for errors on Preview" feature. It really is helpful to see the "silent" errors at the same time you're looking for visual mistakes. Also, thank you for killing off the zombie styles, for sorting the styles in the toolbar button, for removing fast find from the editor and adding the Windows' F3 shortcut.
I did some testing when you had mentioned that on Windows. I don't remember the exact details, but I think that when you press F3 elsewhere in Firefox, you still have the option to edit your search. Trying it now (on Linux) that doesn't seem to be the case though.
You can only report broken styles if you installed them from userstyles.org. Also, the message only shows up in AMO.

You're talking about fast Find, yes? If you open fast Find, enter a search term, then close the Find bar, ctrl+g and F3 both findNext without opening the Find bar. If you clear the search box and close the Find bar, both ctrl+g and F3 will open the Find bar as if you'd pressed ctrl+f. ctrl+f always takes you to the search box, and never moves the search cursor. I bound F3/shift+F3 to findNext/findPrev in the Chrome editor, and it felt perfectly natural. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_keyboard_shortcuts#Text_editing
Removed ability to switch to edit window when installing a style.
Fait accompli, but this is a real nuisance because it isn't possible now to examine a broken style in response to a forum question without installing it and then uninstalling it. You can still view the code on the site, as well as preview without installing it.
I liked this feature because I could preview what the website or Firefox UI change is going to look like with just the code as is, or make short edits to the code to see if I can make it look better before installing it. That, or making a quick edit to a userstyle that's specific to one website to see how well it handles another website.
No sidebar???? Are you kidding??? I can't breathe...
Right there with ya! I remember a buncha years ago when we really wanted tabbed editing and thought how well the two--the sidebar manager and the edit window in a tab--would go together, like bread and butter... look at us now: lots of butter, no bread.
Well, I've played a little with the OmniSidebar add-on, and it looks like it will fill the same role as the old sidebar manager--only takes up a bit more space for now (but some custom CSS might take care of that).
Updated: Yep, I've got it looking pretty much like it did in the ol' Stylish sidebar, so that'll work for now.
I use Stylish, obviously, but I also use the userChrome/userContent css files for specific things now and then. I also prefer the Stylish editor. It would be nice to be able to manage/edit all of my userstyle code from the same place. Being able to open/save those 2 files from the Stylish editor would be a useful function for me.
You know, actually--if you think about it, if you added some simple file handling and the like, then you could almost turn Stylish into an IDE for "all of your styling needs" (not just for "users" but for "authors" as well). Wow. How cool would that be. (Of course, for "project" handling you might need something like tags or whatnot.)
NotTheMama, I doubt Jason will want to add and maintain such code to stock Stylish. Remember, Jason tries to keep Stylish as easy to use and non-confusing as possible for the majority of users who simply install styles. And most importantly, Stylish is not meant to be an IDE. ;)
With that said... For power users, we currently have Stylish Editor Mod. I'm using a slightly hacked version of SEM until Sonny gets back, with added functions: - open/save local files, path for userChrome and userContent built in - beautify CSS with library from https://github.com/senchalabs/cssbeautify
I guess it is slowly turning into a real IDE. For quick access, open Stylish editor by running stylishOverlay.addCode() with Chrome privileges (from Scratchpad, Custom Button, keyconfig etc).

Jason,

...Oh, and for staying on top of the Electrolysis transition, too. It would have been very ugly otherwise when 1.4.3 stopped firing messages in the style pages.

Second, the Github releases page hasn't been updated. I assume that Mozilla's distribution is the Nov 30 revision and not 2.0.0b4.

Third, F3 should be bound to findNext in CodeMirror, not find; find always initiates a new search, and findNext invokes find if there isn't already an active search.

Fourth, when I delete a style I'm not asked if the style was broken. (I forgot to test this earlier.)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_keyboard_shortcuts#Text_editing Confused - I install a style, delete the style, when/where am I asked if the style was broken?
I will test the F3 again for 2.0.1.

Preview/Edit in Stylish Editor before install.

Is it even possible?
Looks good!

I have "about:stylish-edit" bookmarked -- seems pretty quick.
