Ever since this was moved into the extensions/add-ons dialog it has disappeared for me.  Choosing Manage User Scripts from the menu brings up the Add-on Manager dialog but there is no User Scripts tab.

Any suggestions?

Windows 7 64 bit
Firefox 9.0.1
Greasemonkey 0.9.13

Save a backup of your whole profile.
Delete all extensions except greasemonkey.
Check if the problem mantains.

Especially the fresh profile steps.

I already had a clean profile so I installed in that and GM worked
fine.

For anyone else having this problem, the culprit is a once useful add-
on, MR Tech Toolkit 6.0.4.9000. It makes some changes to the Add-on
Manager which seems to block Greasemonkey. I've tried disabling
everything relevant to the Add-on Manager in the settings, but the
only solution is to disable or uninstall MR Tech Toolkit.

Incidentally, MR Tech Toolkit also stops the Add-on Manager appearing
in a tab which is pretty sad since that was a feature it offered.

MR Tech Toolkit has not been updated sicne 2009, nor ever for Firefox
4+. It's very broken. It won't work in Firefox 9. Sorry.

Largely superseded would be a better description. It still does many
things (in Firefox 9) that it used to do so "broken" doesn't seem
quite fair.

Of course, if you want to use Greasemonkey *I* certainly wouldn't
recommend it.
