Greasemonkey 2.0+ fix(?)

I've been looking into what's blocking Greasemonkey v2.0+ from working in PM. Turns out it's
bug #952192 (to which Moonchild has
answered previously).
WORKAROUND: 1. install.rdf version modification (to support PM25/FF24)
2. /modules/xmlhttprequester.js: REMOVE the following:
Code: Select all
this.sandboxPrincipal = Components.utils.getObjectPrincipal(sandbox);
This appears to disable Greasemonkey's built-in sandbox, which doesn't appear to exist in the last known working version (v1.15) anyway.
That's it, as far as I can tell. Everything else works perfectly.

Thing is it would be nice if they would do a conditional to our appnsme/guid greasemonkey is to complex to fork

Is there some way someone could post a copy of this modified extension? The sole reason I continue to use PM 24.7.2 is because of the Greasemonkey issue. I had hoped that this issue would have gotten fixed by now (yes, I know GM 1.15 supposedly works, but I tried in a recent PM portable and couldn't get any scripts to work).

Posting modified XPI files is forbidden by the rules, as far as I know. For now we'll have to wait until PM implements the needed function. Changing the extension yourself to apply the fix is doable, but again, I think I've read that even giving instructions to do so is against the rules?

I cannot take on a fork of greasemonkey. It is too complex. 1.15 IS fully operational with Pale Moon. I use it every day. We will however work with the developers of greasemonkey if at all possible but they need to come to us.

I installed 1.15 and none of my scripts worked with it. To be fair, I migrated from Firefox 36, where I have the latest version of GM installed, so it's possible all my scripts are incompatible with older versions of GM, if only due to the slightly different syntax of the headers.
Either way, according to the comments
on the pull request:
Just to update, I have requested for Pale Moon to add support for this function. I don't know any time-frame, but when it's done 9361136 should be unneeded.
So hopefully that won't be necessary soon.
