804373 - Greasemonkey 1.3, and 1.4 cannot add new user script with Firefox 16.0.1

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Extension Compatibility, defect)

Description

[smithsnick]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux i686; rv:16.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/16.0
Build ID: 20121011002034

Steps to reproduce:

When using greasemonkey 1.3 or 1.4 with Firefox 16.0.1 I can install a new user script first time around. And a message will show the script has been succesfully loaded. However when trying to install a second script I am not shown a menu only a message showing the first script has been loaded.


Actual results:

The effect is that only on user script can be install which is continually reloaded whenever a new script is attempted to be added.


Expected results:

Each time you select the new user script option a menu you should appear to fill in the details of the new script. This menu is not appearing.

Please, create a new profile, install the latest Greasemonkey and try to reproduce your issue with 2 scripts.

Does it work as expected?

This is a new 'feature'. If you copy a script (so it's on the clipboard) and then select the new user script option, the copied script now gets installed immediately without showing you the new script window.

To work around it, just make sure you copy something that's not a script before doing the new script option. It should then work as expected.
