View userscript source links

Recent Greasemonkey releases do not display the script source in the main Firefox window prior to installation. This script adds a "#" link, for viewing the source, next to userscript links (other than on Userscripts.org).

Since Userscripts.org now displays a "View source" link, I've changed this script to only add source links on sites other than this one.

it is so cool man thanks, this helped me a lot. when i am trying to view the source code for a script it downloads then i have to open it with editor. it is a waste of time. now it is cool.

Updated to add "?source" rather than "#" to the script URL, for circumventing the install dialog.

Both approaches work, but the "#" can't be detected on the server side. "?source" can. This means Userscripts.org can detect that someone's just viewing the source, not installing, and so can elect not to increase the install counter.

surplus: Good point. Changed it to http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/* since Userscripts.org is now delightfully www-less.

Checked safe apart from applies to *userscripts.org which includes www.notuserscripts.org.

Fix url matches: http://userscripts.org/* http//*.userscripts.org/*

Updated to blend in with the new Userscripts.org design. No difference in functionality.

LouCypher: It's being discussed on the mailing list. Aaron is very aware of it and is trying to come up with a decent way to get native "display source" support along with the new installation UI.

I went back to 0.6.5.something because of that.
