This section of the manual will be short and sweet. As mentioned elsewhere, Greasemonkey provides several methods in its API to enhance the power of user scripts. They are listed here, with a brief description, but each separate method has its own page with more in-depth information, please continue reading there!
Headers
- Metadata Block

Other
- GM_log
- A function that accepts a parameter which will be routed to the Error Console, useful for examining values when writing a script.
- GM_openInTab
- Similar in spirit to
window.open(), this function accepts a single parameter, the URL of a page to open in a new tab. - GM_registerMenuCommand
- An advanced function which allows a user script to register a menu item, and command to run when clicked, in the Firefox user interface.
