See "Greaseable schemes" in the Greasemonkey docs. Greasemonkey ignores the file://
protocol by default.
For scripts to work with file://
paths, you need to open about:config and set extensions.greasemonkey.fileIsGreaseable
to true
.
You might possibly have to restart Firefox for this setting to take effect.
Also, // @include http* file*
is invalid syntax. You would use:
// @include http://*
// @include https://*
// @include file://*
except, avoid using such global includes as much as you can. Tune to the script to just the domain(s) and/or page(s) you explicitly target.
This: avoids unexpected side effects, increases performance, and reduces the chances of being pwned by some "zero day" exploit.
I also recommend that you delete the User Settings options for scripts you write yourself. This will only lead to heartache and confusion later. ;) Use the metadata section of the script, only, for scripts you control.
