posted 8 years ago> There are no obvious ways to actually install scripts
Script installation works by loading URLs that end up on ".user.js". This can be done by clicking a link or manually entering the URL. You can also drag and drop files ending up on ".user.js" to Firefox. Finally you can use the "Utilities" tab, enter a URL at the "URL" section and click "Import".
> The support site doesn't quite work (has a frozen pop-up on top)
Do you have JavaScript blocked/disabled i.e. via NoScript?
> but what shows gives Chrome specific instructions
This is on my TODO list. However, many answers apply regardless of browser in use.

Unfortunately not open source and complex, which may mean that enterprise users may not have permission to use it as enterprise IT departments are tightening their security policies.
And unfortunately, there is another extension of almost identical name ("Tamper monkey" which even uses Tampermonkey's icon/logo), which may trick people into installing the wrong extension. While I have reported this, I think the author of this extension should have more luck to get Mozilla to ban that other "fake" extension. - Rated 1 out of 5by user, 17 days agoUse “Greasemonkey” or “Violentmonkey”, both open‑source, whereas “Tampermonkey” is closed‑source.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Cronodoug, 2 months agoIt would be wonderful if you could backup your scripts before a creator updates them andTampermonkey updates them WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION! I can't get the first version of a script anymore, because the creators of this extension must think that everything that is updated is better!
