Greasemonkey Version 0.8

At long last, the new version of Greasemonkey is available. Get Greasemonkey 0.8.0 from addons.mozilla.org.

The most important change for this release is full compatibility with Firefox 3.0. There is also a new feature that allows modularization of user scripts that comes in four pieces: @resource, @require, GM_getResourceURL, and GM_getResourceText. Follow those links to learn how they work. Also:
  • GM_xmlhttpRequest now includes the finalUrl property.
  • Internal code quality improvements
  • New attractive graphics by Pak-Kei Mak
Finally, there is a set of reported issues that are yet to be resolved. Version 0.8.1 is planned, but we feel 0.8.0 is a strong enough improvement to be worth releasing, for Firefox 3.0 compatibility. Enjoy!

Yay!

Minor note to script developers: console.* integration with Firebug is not operational yet with the Firebug 1.2 betas also targeting Firefox 3.

i already miss the old icon this new one stands out to much! :D

broquaint said...

Excellent!

Well done everyone who contributed to another fine release.

With the major JavaScript libraries reaching maturity and CDNs hosting said libraries the latest GM features (e.g @require) are going to be a real boon to script writing.

Getting ready for ff 3 :D

(But I prefer the old monkey logo look :p)

Anonymous said...

Thank you for the update but I too miss the old monkey, don't care for the new one. Would be nice to be able to change it back.

boots said...

To all those complaining about the monkey: relax, you'll get used to it.

OAKside said...

First off: Love the "new monkey".

Secondly, most--if not all--of my scripts are still unable to work with Fx 3.0 RC 3. Is it likely the scripts need Fx 3.0 updates as well?

Little guy will have to stay disabled for (hopefully) just a while longer...

mhm.. i liked the old monkey better i think. i mean you get used to it, but somehow i already miss the old one :[

I cannot install ANY scripts, none. Where can I email or post the error window to?

y0himba -

Send your error to greasemonkey-users mailing list:

Good work!

Tom Boutell said...

Just tried the latest Greasemonkey on Firefox 3.0 under Ubuntu Linux. After the install the browser initially restarts okay and I see the monkey in the corner, but as soon as it gets to addons.mozilla.org... it locks up tight as a drum and stays that way.

If I kill the process and restart, same thing.

If I kill the process, nuke greasemonkey's extension folder and restart, I'm fine (addons.mozilla.org is still visited but does not lock up my browser, but of course I have no greasemonkey).

Users are asking me to check out an incompatibility between Firefox 3/Greasemonkey 0.8 and my ljwho script, but apparently I'll have to wait a bit to try to debug that. (:

Thanks for your hard work on greasemonkey.

I prefer old monkey too, so where can i download old monkey graphics, because i want to create userstyle to change gm icon back to nice look (no offence to new icon author).

Anonymous said...

i prefer the old one because it worked. this version sees my scripts, but never runs them. uninstalling and reinstalling does not fix the problem. uninstalling and reinstalling previous versions does not work. i currently cannot use greasemonkey in any capacity because of this.

Anonymous said...

Ok, old monkey userstyle here:

Anonymous said...

I love the new icon! I used to replace the old one with a Tango styled icon that I edited a bit, this looks almost like it, but with more character. No more replacing icons to get the look I desire, but the gigantic space is still there, which I still have to edit myself to get rid of, care to fix that?

ArahMan7 said...

Yeah, I love the old monkey. You see, when I uploaded the 0.8 version, I lost my Blogger Trackback capability. I want Blogger Trackback capability back.

Greetings and lots of love from Malaysia.

"i prefer the old one because it worked. this version sees my scripts, but never runs them. uninstalling and reinstalling does not fix the problem. uninstalling and reinstalling previous versions does not work. i currently cannot use greasemonkey in any capacity because of this."

My thoughts exactly. Again: Do the scripts need updates for Fx 3.0 as well?

Anonymous said...

To Pak-Kei Mak:

I like the new monkey icon

Pak-Kei Mak said...

Thanks for the new release and Aaron's choice to include the logo in the release!

Also thanks for all those who likes or cares about the logo. Feel free to drop in your comments. I wrote up something about the new icon/logo in my blog.

I had to uninstall this, because as soon as I did the update, firefox kept losing my cookies every time I restarted the browser (yes, my settings are correct). I tried a process of elimination to find out which add-on was the culprit, and alas, it was greasemonkey.

Hm, half my scripts do not work now with the update of FF3. They still worked with the update of greasemonkey, but as soon as I upgraded to FF3, half of them stopped working. Greasemonkey says they are there, but no show, no go. As someone asked before, do the scripts need to be updated, or is the problem with FF3? (I think the problem is probably not with Greasemonkey, as it did work after updating, just not after updating to FF3.)

I wish there was some concise answer to this question to be found someplace...

OAKside said...

@ rain:

I was asking if it was "likely the scripts need Fx 3.0 updates" and I seem to have found an answer. No, but the reinstallion may help anyway.

Now that the final Fx 3.0 & GM 0.8 are out, I recommend uninstalling GM scripts (& associated prefs & perhaps even GM itself), restarting Fx and reinstalling the latest GM & scripts.

I only tried reinstallation again (tried a few times on Fx 3.0 RCs & GM RCs) because the author of one of my faves said there were no problems. The script was last updated in '06 and there's no problems now, same for others.

Anonymous said...

thanks, I will try that and see how things go

l, I tried uninstalling, deleting preffs, uninstalling greasemonkey, reinstalling greasemonkey, reinstalling the scripts. Same problem, no change at all... so either I failed to find all of the gm preffs in the application data folders, or somethign else, or it just does not work at this time. Darn it!

Just in case I did not find all of the preffs, exactly where should I look for them?

I think the use script should be encoding in an encoding specified by the user, so that user can choose the encoding he/she needs while writing the script.

as the current mechanism don't permit this

does this problem can be solved in future release?

Greasemonkey has been broken for me since FF3.0 RC. I thought I could hang on until it updated, but now it is still not running any scripts. They are enabled and installed properly, they just don't run. :(

Dale said...

All my scripts stopped working with GM .8 and FF 2. Tried everything.

Found a workaround by compiling the scripts at
http://arantius.com/misc/greasemonkey/script-compiler

GM .8 works fine on my FF 3 machine.

I am using a newly-downloaded Firefox 3.0 on my MacBook, running OS 10.4.11 (after a weird glitch wherein the older version of the browser froze, and when I did a force quit, the application was GONE from my Mac entirely), and the new version of Greasemonkey (Version 0.8.20080609.0, released June 12, 2008) won't download or install.

Every time I try, I get an error message, and the error console tells me this.

I'm not a programmer so I don't know what to do beyond this point.

So...this just isn't going to work for me at all?

Very frustrating.

Luc Williams. said...

Tried to install, got this. Any advice?

Firefox could not install the file at

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/downloads/file/30326/greasemonkey-0.8.20080609.0-fx.xpi

because: Unexpected installation error
Review the Error Console log for more details.

Elizabeth McQuern said...

Just to follow up on my earlier comment, I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox 3.0 and then Greasemonkey installed and starting working just fine again.

Anyone who's getting that same error message I did should try the same.
