Greasemonkey 3.9 Release

The entire list of bugs handled in this release is also available via the 3.9 milestone on GitHub. Note that as always it takes some time for Mozilla to review the new version.  If you're interested in staying on the bleeding edge, try installing the development channel beta release.  If you are using this version and notice problems, it's best to log an issue or let us know at greasemonkey-dev (and be clear that it's with this version).

Feature enhancements:
  • Improve the performance of GM_getValue/GM_setValue. (#2197, #2025)
  • Add a rich tooltip to the Greasemonkey toolbar button.  (#2377, #2418)
  • GM_getResourceText supports a second (responseType) parameter, for better compatibility with binary files. (#2376)
Fixed bugs:
  • Global exclude rules no longer require a Firefox restart to take effect. (#2410)
  • A web page whose url ends in ".user.js" could fail to load. (#2407)
  • A script whose name ends in ".db" could fail. (#2402)
