Welcome

This tutorial is intended to be a reference for all things Greasemonkey.

Welcome to the Greasemonkey (Classic) Manual. This manual is intended to describe the newest version of the Greasemonkey on AMO version 3.x and below, Greasemonkey on SourceForge and Greasemonkey Port. If an older version of Greasemonkey is in use, it is recommended to upgrade to the latest, if possible, or some of the contents will not make sense. It still may be helpful with concepts in Greasemonkey 4.x+.

This manual is divided into two main parts. The first is for general users of Greasemonkey; it covers such topics as installing User scripts and using the features that Greasemonkey provides. The latter is dedicated to user script authors and developers providing information about how to create scripts.

Navigation to any section directly is provided by using the table of contents at the beginning and end of each page in the manual. Or simply start reading at the first chapter: Installing Scripts.

When giving feedback it is preferred to have:

• Greasemonkey version
• A simplified version of the issue and usually not a full script.
• Sometimes a methodology being tried is more useful instead of a code snippet
