I had to downgrade to 0.9.22 because 1.0 disabled all my installed scripts. The one that I have frecuently used is FFixer.

It will be compatibility?

I am browsing with Firefox 14.0.1, Windows 7 64bits

FFixer is http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/8861 ?

What exactly do you mean by disabled?  They just don't work right?  Or you see them labeled "disabled" or greyed out somewhere?

If you have GM 1.0 installed, does anything show up in the Error Console (Tools > Web Developer > Error Console, or Ctrl-Shift-J) when you visit a page you expect it to work on?

O.k. I forgot to say that my system is in Spanish. Sorry for my English Language!

Yeah! That's the one I have installed! But I had to update the script code because Layout Changes from Facebook: http://userscripts.org/topics/112931.

O.k. GM 1.0 doesn't work and then all scripts are disabled too because User Script Tab Dissapear, and when I try to enter GM options or settings, pop up a Windows Error:

When I am in Facebook homepage, Error Console show me:
 


 
But If I downgrade to GM 0.9.22 works perfectly:



And I can review my installed scripts:
 


 

And all scripts works perfectly!

Thank you for your quick answer!!! :D

Oh my!  You're using a non-English locale, and I messed up the translations, which explains why everything is broken for you (and anyone else in your locale).  Expect version 1.0.1 to be coming out any minute now.  Thanks for providing the information I needed to diagnose this.

Hm, I reacted too quickly before.  What exactly is your language setting?  es-AR, es-CL, es-ES, es-MX?  (I installed the es-ES version and Greasemonkey works OK there.)

For posterity: this is an image of an XML entity missing error, saying in Spanish:

Error de lectura XML: entidad no definida
Ubicación: chrome://greasemonkey/content/options.xul
Número de línea 30, columna 5:https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ui=2&view=btop&ver=lsvjwajrtlp4#cmid%253D1

<caption label="&options.editor;" />

And has got to be the real error.  It also reveals that the User Scripts tab is missing because something has horribly broken.



That error tells me something is definitely wrong with the translations.  I knew it so well that I assumed that was the whole error, with my quick post before.  But now I've gone to "fix" that, and see that it's not broken.  So it's not the cause, it's the symptom.

Omar, can you please follow these steps:
  1. Close the Add-on tabs, if it's open.
  2. Open the Error Console, and click Clear (Limpiar), and Errors (Errores).
  3. Now open the Add-on tab.

Does anything new appear in the Error console at step 3?  That might not be it, it might also be something at Firefox start time.  To test that, we'd need to:

  1. Close all of Firefox's tabs (if they load pages at restart, the pages can cause a bunch of errors of their own, and make us miss the real problem).
  2. Close Firefox completely.
  3. Start a new Firefox instance.
  4. Open the Error Console, with the Errors button selected.

Are any errors displayed there?  Ones that mention Greasemonkey directly?


And, if after all that you're still feeling patient enough to help, I notice in your screenshot that you have lots of extensions installed, so it might be worth testing if one of them is conflicting:

http://wiki.greasespot.net/Troubleshooting_%28Users%29#Fresh_Profile

If you create a fresh new profile and install only Greasemonkey, does it work?  If so, install all the extensions you normally use (preferably one by one) and see if/when one of them makes Greasemonkey stop working.

Hi Anthony,

I think I am having the same problem. I am using Firefox 14.0.1 in Spanish. I installed GreaseMonkey (GM) 1.0 and I cannot open the preferences of GM in the add-on tab. The error I get is the same you posted (... <caption label="&options.editor;" /> ....).

I followed your instruction and I got this error message in the error console:

Fecha: 29-08-2012 11:45:44
Error: entidad no definida
Código Fuente: chrome://greasemonkey/content/addons4-overlay.xul
Linea: 23, Columna: 3
Código fuente:
  <richlistitem id="category-scripts" class="category"

I did not try disabling all the other add-ons since I only have few add-ons installed.

I hope this helps!
Francisco

Thanks for this.  That's useful information, because it's why the bit in the add-ons manager (before the options window) is failing.  But I still can't explain why.  The relevant entity sure seems to be defined in every locale called "es".  Could you be more specific than Spanish, do you know which locale specifically you're using?  (I wish I knew how to check that.)

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6784911/greasemonkey-1.0beta8.xpi

Does this version work for you?  I've just taken out the declarations for all the translations.  If so, well, I'll have to spend more time trying to figure out what's going on.

https://github.com/arantius/greasemonkey/compare/0.9...master
That overlay file didn't change between 0.9 and 1.0.
That entity didn't change in any "es" locales besides being added in es-CL; that entire locale was added.

I'm confused.

Hi!

I installed 1.0 beta 8 and it worked! Now the monkey icon appears in my toolbar and I can open the preferences in the add-on tab.

I am not sure if this is what you need to know, but I checked in about:config the preference "general.useragent.locale". The value is set to "es-CL".

Hi! again

I was very busy and I could't answer till now.

My Firefox Localization is es-CL.

And I installed GM 1.0 Beta 8 and works perfectly again!

Thank You Very Much! :D

Thanks.  Given that both of you are es-CL that sounds very much like it's the issue.  My previous test was with es-ES.  So I tried downloading that version (es-CL) of Firefox, and I see the same errors you've mentioned.  There must be a file encoding issue with the es-CL translation.

Aha!

$ isutf8 locale/es-CL/greasemonkey.dtd
locale/es-CL/greasemonkey.dtd: line 27, char 1, byte offset 49: invalid UTF-8 code

Now I definitely know what to fix.
