It can happen that the Firefox Greasemonkey extension is displaying the message “No Scripts Installed” even if you have installed a script a second ago or already use Greasemonkey scripts. Some users might suspect that they need to restart the browser or at least refresh the page before the new Greasemonkey script is shown as installed.
That is however no the case. One of the main principles of Greasemonkey is that the scripts are site specific. They might work on multiple sites but they are usually limited to less than ten sites in total.
Greasemonkey is displaying “No Scripts Installed” because the script has not been designed for the currently active website. To see that a script has been installed the user needs to visit a site it is compatible with.
Only there will he be able to use it and configure it if the script provides that functionality.

Hoi Martin, I realy like greasmonkey and i am using it. But i have a question where can i find or the script is save or not?
Well you have to analyze the source of the script to find out. That’s the only way that’s 100% reliable. User comments or an Internet search can help as well but they are not 100% reliable.
How do we add a site to the list? Nothing I do makes a difference.
