GM Errors

Now that you all have read Getting Started, here is the post to cater your Error Needs. Well that might sound something really awkward, but many users face errors in Grease Monkey while installing GM scripts.

Here is the Screen Shot of four of them, which users have so far reported to me. But these have been solved by now. And here I will be telling you on how to tackle these errors.

Error 1: (Screen Shot)

There is nothing that you can do about it, because the GM script has corrupted your Addon. The way out of it is creating a new Profile in Firefox and then again starting everything from the scratch.

What You Have to Do:

1. Open system properties (by right clicking my computer), choose tab advanced, click to environment variables button. In system variables section, click new. Type this information to each text box. (Screen Shot)

2. variable name: moz_no_remote (must be all small letter)

3. variable value: 1

4. press OK to close all windows.

5. Open firefox icon’s properties (from desktop and quick launch). Add extension -p to command line (like “c:\program files\mozilla firefox\firefox.exe” -p). Press ok. (Screen Shot)

6. While starting firefox you have to create a new profile of firefox. (Screen Shot)

7. You can use this method for Multiple Orkut Logins from firefox too! Just use a different FF profile for different Orkut Profiles.

Error 2: (Screen Shot)

Well this error is due to the compatibility reasons of GM with Firefox. In this type of error, even clicking on the install button doesn’t install the script. The same page continues to be displayed!

What You Have to Do:

1. Check Out the Greasemonkey Addon Page on the Mozilla Firefox site. Chance are that you will get your answer there.
2. If you don’t find a solution there, instead install this tested and tried version of GM.

Error 3: (Screen Shot)

You can’t say that it is a Technical error. Because it is a lame human error. What you have done is “double clicked” a saved GM script on your PC hoping that it will install the script. But this is not the correct way of installing the script. Please refer Getting Started Post to know how to install a GM script.

Error 4: (Screen Shot)

This is just the server error on which the script that you are trying to download/install is hosted. I upload all my scripts on http://userscripts.org which is a newly build site but is going strong. Due to it’s freshness the administrator of the site frequently shuts the server down for some up gradation work. If your encounter Error 4, at any point of time then please remain a little patient and try again later.

In Addition to the above errors if you experience any other error, do feel free to contact me. I’ll try to solve it as soon as possible.
