How to install scripts
Can't find the basic way of installing a script in PM, such as the greasemonkey bitchute script. Can anyone posts a link or the steps to do it?

Re: How to install scripts
Press "Install this script"? Have you installed Greasemonkey first?

Re: How to install scripts
If you want to add a script manually if you wrote or edited it, that is a real hassle. It will be named user-script, regardless of what name you gave it and the only way to rename it back to what it should be is to go into the profile, to gm_scripts and rename its folder and itself, then rename it everywhere it is named in config.xml.
Removing a script you do not want any more is also a hassle. You have to remove it from gm_scripts in the profile and remove its listing from config.xml.

I've not done anything yet. I was looking at at the code on
viewtopic.php?p=231569#p231569
but did not see an install button.

You should install Greasemonkey first.

Re: How to install scripts
You can't install a Greasemonkey script without Greasemonkey (or similar).
Install Greasemonkey for Pale Moon (click on greasemonkey-3.31.4-pm_forkBranch.xpi - it is NOT the one on top)
There's an issue here. GitHub doesn't work properly on Pale Moon and you won't be able to install Greasemonkey from that page. Two solutions:
a) Install the Palefill Web Technologies Polyfill extension (top-right Install button). GitHub will then work (and some other broken websites as well).
b) Install Greasemonkey from this Github direct link (no need for the Palefill extension): Greasemonkey for Pale Moon 3.31.4
Visit Greasy Fork and you will now see the Install button. I do not know if the Greasy Fork script is the same as the one you linked to (posted by Kris_88 here on the forum). If it isn't and you want to install it manually from the provided code:
'Select all' code and copy it.
Use the Gresemonkey toolbar icon (or Pale Moon menu/Tools/Greasemonkey) to select "New User Script..."
Press "Use Script From Clipboard" and that's it. A pop-up should appear displaying the script's code and you can close it.
Verify if the script it installed in the Add-ons Manager (User Scripts section).

Re: How to install scripts
That will not let me rename the script. Also, removing a script seems to work until I restart, then it is back again.
Incidentally, Greasemonkey 3.31.4 for Pale Moon will not install. I am stuck with version 3.17.

Re: How to install scripts
Why not, and what error do you get? Assuming you're also on the latest version of PM.

Re: How to install scripts
I am using White Star, which is Pale Moon for Mac. It is the latest version. I get no error message, but the extension simply will not appear in the addons list. Now that I have found out how to rename manually added scripts and how to remove unwanted scripts, I can do it that way.

Re: How to install scripts
If I'm right, Mac support is being added back with dbsoft's help, so hopefully in future you'll be able to use the regular build. Assuming that it follows the same versioning system as PM, strange that the extension doesn't work.

Re: How to install scripts
I was finally able to install the newer Greasemonkey. I had only disabled the older version but not removed it. Supposedly, that was why the new one would not install. I still have to rename manually added scripts in the profile, but the proper name appears in the list of scripts now. I cannot have all the scripts I write called "user-script.user.js", now, can I? I no longer have to go into the profile to remove a script.
