Suggestions for greasemonkey wiki troubleshooting page.

[Chuck Simmons]

1)  Loading the script into Chrome may be a useful troubleshooting step.  The chrome error message and debugging tools may provide errors that are not provided by greasemonkey/firefox tools.  Chrome may display other interesting symptoms that can help debug a problem.

2)  In my particular case, I had problems with updater.php.  It may be desirable to mention updater.php in the troubleshooting page.  Specifically, it was not immediately obvious to me that the error message I eventually found in my firefox error console referring to updater.php was relevant.  The specific symptoms:  a file works, but stops working when reloaded, may indicate a problem in updater.php.  A pointer to more information about updater.php may be useful.

Correction to (2):  In my particular case, my script had an @requires tag in the header.  When greasemonkey/firefox (re)installed my script, it also installed the newer version of the required file, so that my state was changed even when I thought I was reverting to a previous state.  The wiki troubleshooting page might reference the @requires tag associated with this particular symptom.

As discussed in another thread, the particular problem was that I was referencing an auto-updater script from "swizzlemctwizzle.com", that domain is no longer in business, and the updater script no longer works.
