== About User Scripts ==<br />
<br />
The purpose of [[Greasemonkey]] is to manage user scripts.<br />
[[User script]]s allow the ''user'' to control the way they use the web, by customizing it with scripting.<br />
The [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/748 Greasemonkey extension] won't do any good without any scripts installed.<br />
<br />
The first thing an eager user should do is find and install ''(or write!)'' a useful script.<br />
<br />
:* A word on finding [[user script]]s. They may be located anywhere on the internet or even offline. The Greasemonkey community typically uses the general purpose user script repository site created for it at [http://userscripts.org/ http://userscripts.org].<br />
<br />
Installation of a script is most often done by clicking a link on a web page. One may also drag-and-drop a local file into the browser window, or optionally use the menu bar [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Menu+Reference#Open_File_ File &rarr; Open File...] dialog to open it.<br />
<br />
:* Any file that ends in '''<code>.user.js</code>''' is a valid Greasemonkey user script.<br />
<br />
When the URL of a link is clicked or otherwise navigated to ends with <code>.user.js</code>, [[Greasemonkey]] will intercept the loading file by presenting the installation dialog.</div>78.169.229.219
