Greetings,

within our department we share one single Firefox installation (via
NFS) which comes with a pre-installed Greasemonkey extension
(installed via firefox -install-global-extension). Unfortunately,
every user needs to individually install required Greasemonkey
scripts.

Does anyone know whether Greasemonkey scripts can be installed
globally for a single Firefox installation (so that these scripts can
be seen and used by all users/profiles of this one FF installation)?

Sebastian

There is not. But you can compile user scripts into an XPI.

Thanks for letting me know (although I had hoped to hear otherwise)
and the
pointer to the script compiler. There is also a multi-script-to-XPI
compiler which
might fit our needs.

Will give them both a try.

I am interested in doing this as well. I have tried to use the
http://arantius.com/misc/greasemonkey/script-compiler compiler and it
seems to work well. The only problem is that the site restrictions
don't seem to carry over and the scrips are applied to all sites. As a
result I get tons of errors when using firefox. Any help on this would
be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
