by Firefox user 6696096, 9 years agoWill there be an ability to edit script directly in user-chosen external editor?
If not, please add an option to quickly update the single script (used in the current tab) from addon-popup menu (from the main browser toolbar).
The demise of GreaseMonkey and the absence of ViolentMonkey documentation forced me to choose TamperMonkey. I even moved my scripts to local Apache web-server (as it is the quickest way to import the scripts to UserJS addons and keep them always updated for several firefox profiles). But still there are many unnecessary actions on each script change. To update one script I need:
1) save the script in the editor
2) open the localhost URL (with my scripts),
3) click the script link,
4) click REINSTALL in TamperMonkey
5) refresh the page
The option that I offered earlier will make the steps 2-4 unnecessary and will save plenty of time when editing scripts.

posted 9 years agoYou can open the dashboard, search the script (you should choose a sort option which makes the script appear at the top) and then click at the "Last updated" column to trigger a new update check.
For development (and only development) you can also copy your script's header to a new script and then @require your script URL from your local web server.
Then open the TM settings page and set "Config Mode" to "Advanced, search for "Externals" > "Update Interval" and change it to "Always". Now TM will update your @require every time the script _was_ executed. Again, please use this only for development!
I hope (user-enabled) local file access will be implemented by the Firefox developers soon or at least one day. If that's done, then to @require a local file will make TM load it at every script execution without disadvantage.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Olcyx, 23 days agoDe temps en temps cela ralentit considérablement ma vitesse de connexion. Je sais pas pourquoi, mais j'ai l'impression que ça fait des GROS trucs en arrière-plan pour que ça fasse ralentir comme ça.

posted 9 days agoTampermonkey itself doesn't cause any connection traffic other than a few update checks. Maybe a script you installed is causing this? Otherwise please file a bug report at https://github.com/Tampermonkey/tampermonkey/issues - Rated 5 out of 5by tao, 23 days ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by zer0, 24 days agoThis Extension slop is non stop banners about anything other than just use it. You can keep your stupid banners and non stop interruptions I will look for another extension to handle scripts that this trash spam.
Developer response
posted 9 days agoWhat banners do you mean? Tampermonkey should not show any. Maybe a script you installed shows those? Otherwise please file a bug report at https://github.com/Tampermonkey/tampermonkey/issues - Rated 5 out of 5by TERROR, a month ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by cba012, 2 months agoHas hidden Google Analytics and is close-source - no thanks. An extension of this privilege level needs to be fully transparent. It also begs for donations at an abnormally high rate.
Use ViolentMonkey instead.Developer response
posted 9 days agoThere is no Google Analytics; I use a self‑hosted Matomo instance, which is disabled by default.
The extension asks for a donation after two weeks of usage. A click at "I don't want to contribute" makes Tampermonkey never ask again.
If you see different behavior, then please file a bug report at https://github.com/Tampermonkey/tampermonkey/issues - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17501884, 2 months ago数ヶ月前の更新の際、これまで作ってきたユーザースクリプトのデータが全て消滅しました。
あらゆるデータベースファイル、削除されたデータ等を探しても残っておらず、途方もない損失に嘆きましたが、少しずつ復旧させてきました。
そして今日、Firefoxを再起動した際、再び何かのトラブルで全てのユーザースクリプトが消滅しました。
もうこれ以上信頼を預けることはできません。ViolentMonkey等への移行を速やかに行います。 - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12859804, 2 months ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Rackmani, 2 months agoGreat to allow me to add a script to stop a copy paste block on a certain website where other extns were failing
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14987899, 2 months agoApparently it is not only a mess, it's also bloated, closed source now, and has fucking Google Analytics.
