[edit] The Dialog
At the right is a screenshot of the Greasemonkey manage dialog. This is the interface that you use to control the user scripts that you have installed.
On the left is the list of installed scripts. Selecting any script will display its name and description on the right, as well as the set of include and exclude rules that apply to that script. Any script that is enabled will be shown in black text, while those that are disabled will appear in grey. Select the script and check or uncheck the enabled box below the list to control whether it is currently enabled or disabled.
Beside the enabled checkbox is the edit button. Click this button to edit the currently selected script, by launching your text editor on the installed file. The first time that you edit a script like this, Greasemonkey will open a browse dialog to let you select which text editor to use. If you have trouble with this button, you should read the appropriate section of the FAQ.
Beside the edit button is the uninstall button. This is the way to remove any script that you have installed. To the right of the uninstall button is the checkbox that controls what happens to the saved preferences of scripts that you uninstall. Greasemonkey provides a mechanism for user scripts to store values, similar to cookies for web pages. Checking this box will make these stored values be removed along with the script. (Leaving the box un-checked will keep the values around, but unused. This may be useful if you expect to install the same script again in the future.)
[edit] Opening the Dialog
Now that we know how to use it, it's important to be able to open it.
The manage dialog may be opened in two ways.
First, it can be found by clicking Tools, Greasemonkey, Manage User Scripts....
Alternately, the same Manage User Scripts.. menu item may be found in the monkey menu.
