Greasemonkey is a user script manager. It is an extension for the Mozilla Firefox web browser.

The Greasemonkey home page is: http://greasespot.net/

The original author of Greasemonkey, Aaron Boodman, said this about its creation:

Greasemonkey was heavily inspired by Adrian Holovaty's site-specific extension for All Music Guide and the conversation which ensued after he published it. There were tons of sites I wanted to create SSE's for, but fully-fledged firefox extensions proved too cumbersome. I wanted it to be as easy to create an SSE as it is to write DHTML.
