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.
