Troubleshooting (Script Authors)
The article Avoid Common Pitfalls in Greasemonkey covers some of the most common problems people come across when writing user scripts.
If your problem is not listed, please ask on the mailing list.
Changes don't take effect when editing a script
You may be editing your original copy of the script, not the installed copy. Once you create and install a script, you need to follow these steps to make sure you're editing the installed, active copy.

}; }
Form POST data
When using GM_xmlhttpRequest to POST form data, remember to add the Content-Type parameter:
GM_xmlhttpRequest({
method: "POST",
url: myurl,
headers: {
"Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
},
data: mydata,
onload: function(res) { /* Some code */ }
});
Character set
Various issues can arise when working in the wrong character set. In general, writers are advised to use the standard utf-8 format, which isn't supported in the latest version of Windows Notepad. Other workarounds include using JavaScript to parse characters which would otherwise be invalid in other formats, from integer values.
var values = [72, 101, 108, 108, 111, 44, 32, 87, 111, 114, 108, 100, 33]; alert(String.fromCharCode.apply(String, values));
Installing from /tmp
If you try to install a user script located in the /tmp directory, Greasemonkey will not bring up the install dialog, and the Install button at the top of the page will not do anything. To solve this, simply move the .user.js file to another directory, such as your home directory.
