How to configure this script to work with an portable Firefox?

Always fails to find the profile folder to detect installed scripts.

Is it normally for a pop-up window to come up every time for the same script?

Worked for me so far, thanks. Here is what the new function should look like formatted correctly.

function setStoredValue (strName, varValue) {
	try {
		if (GM_setValue && GM_setValue !== win.GM_setValue) {
			window.setTimeout(function(){
				GM_setValue(strName, varValue)
			}, 0);
		}
	} catch (ex) {}
	return varValue;
};

Update-Checking that works..., replied by gabedibble

User Script Updates No Longer works.

yeah, it sucks, but since this project was abandoned, then a recent FF-version-update forced the script itself to not work properly, something had to be done

Thanks to Mindeye, we now have a clean & efficient Auto Update-Checking functionality

Check out my script @ http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/12917 to see how to implement this functionality

You can also email me @ [ gdibble [aht] gmail [doht] com ] if you have any questions

Final thanks to Richard Gibson for the original updater script, and to all of the ScriptMasters out there who have kept this site alive!
Cheers!

Best regards,

If you have a recent version of greasemonkey, then this script asks to update itself on every page. Annoying. Here's the fix:

Around line 595, you'll find this:
function setStoredValue (strName, varValue) {
try {
if (GM_setValue && GM_setValue !== win.GM_setValue) {
GM_setValue(strName, varValue);
}
} catch (ex) {}
return varValue;
};

Change that to this:
function setStoredValue (strName, varValue) {
try {
if (GM_setValue && GM_setValue !== win.GM_setValue) {
window.setTimeout(function() {
GM_setValue(strName, varValue);
}, 0);

}
} catch (ex) {}
return varValue;
};

Problem solved.

I have the same problem as nathaniel_higgins. Is there some way to fix this or are we doing something wrong?

It keeps putting up this dialog box every time I visit a page with FF3

"A user script has requested automatic update checks:

name: User Script Updates
namespace: http://userscripts.org/people/336
description: Checks for updated versions of user scripts that request it, and
notifies the user of their existence.
homepage: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/2296

Allow?"

It gets very annoying

Unfortunately, it seems borked in FF 3.0RC1 ... It spams me constantly (every couple of minutes) requesting update access for itself - and once it even popped up about 5 boxes and I had to click OK 5 times - all for permission to update itself.

Borked.

M0rph3u5: the script still works, at least for me.

Richard: All the scripts I develop use yours for updates. Thank you very much.

If you ever care to update the list of scripts that use your, here is the list:

I like that I can use this to add all the URLs for the scripts I've installed, but I wish that doing so were a bit easier.

Perhaps a keyboard shortcut for adding the URLs?

I know it's not meant to be used this way, but I prefer to use it this way so I'm ensured I'll get the updates whenever they come in :$

I removed support for this from my script. I have seen no proof that it works, so I removed the useless code

Just a thought... is there anyway to set it up to only check for updates once every two weeks or so?

The script called: digg - add mirrors, is also said to be compatible with this script. (http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/7585)

I believe that I got my script to support it too.
