Hello !
I would like to make you a small suggestion, that you offer easy to spot alternative download links for the greasemonkey install xpi. Today, addons.mozilla gives me a hash error so I cannot install the latest version, that's annoying, if you see the idea ;)

Cheers,
Oliver

Had the same problem as devon, fixed it by manually adding the gm_scripts directory and an empty config.xml . I'm using Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; it; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061204 Firefox/2.0.0.1

Trying to install GM from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748
into 2.0.0.3 and... it says it installs, it says, "Restart Firefox" and when the 'Fox returns, I have nothing. It's not even in my add-on list.

Thanks devon, once I created gm_scripts/comfig.xml greasemonkey started working.

Seems like this bug would be easy to fix... *nudges developers*

2007-04-02T16:50:00.000-07:00

I just installed the latest version of Greasemonkey on a fresh Ubuntu 6.10/Firefox 2.0.0.3 installation. When I click any of the userscripts.org "install this script" links, I just see the script source. I have no "install" button or popup available. How can I get the scripts to install?

Problem solved :)

2007-03-25T02:48:00.000-07:00

I can't edit any script from GM interface, and also I can't add my own scripts to GM because the dialog box where opening the JS file won't open.

2007-03-22T15:31:00.000-07:00

Ok, I did some digging and here's what I found:

#1 gm_scripts and gm_scripts/comfig.xml never got created in my profile. This caused an exception in Config.load().

Fixed by creating the gm_scripts directory and an empty config.xml.

This made the install button/menu work.

#2 I had a typo in the path to my editor. This caused another silent failure.

If fixed this by correcting my typo.

It would be nice if when editor.exists() or editor.isExecutable() fails openInEditor() would prompt for an editor rather than failing.

I'm also seeing a silent failure in the form of the userscript installer's "Install" button.

Clicking it has no effect. Any suggestions on what to look for would be much appreciated.

I'm running 2.0.0.3 and 0.6.8.20070314.0

It does have it's fair share of quirks, but I think once you get used to it, it's pretty fun.

Edit button: the first time you run it, it asks you what *editor* you want to use. Some people accidentally put the file they want to edit in there and GM does not recover from this very well. If this happened to you, go to about:config in the browser and find "greasemonkey.editor" and clear it. Then try again.

JavaScript 1.7: You are the first person to have asked for this. Didn't 1.7 come out fairly recently in Mozilla itself? I'll look into enabling it.

Failing silently: not sure what you mean here, but if you can provide more detail, I'll try and help.

There are some differences between web javascript and greasemonkey javascript unfortunately because of security. Have a look around the wiki for more information:

2007-03-22T03:45:00.000-07:00

I've known about GreaseMonkey for a couple of years, but never bothered to install it or use it. Just today I had a bit of Javascript I wanted to install on every webpage so I decided to install GM and try it out. It's been a terrible experience so far. The Edit button doesn't work. GM doesn't support Javascript 1.7. Things seem to silently refuse to work.

I'm on a fairly standard WinXP/FF 2.0.0.3 machine. This is a real dissapointment.

2007-03-21T06:02:00.000-07:00

I've had a tiny problem with the overrideMimeType - It wasn't so clear to me that it expects a complete "Content-Type" string, so a request with
overrideMimeType:"iso-8859-8"
would return a textResponse encoded in utf-8, but a request with
overrideMimeType:"text/html; charset=iso-8859-8"
would return a textResponse encoded in iso-8859-8

I hope it was a little help for the needy :)
