Re: Installing script in Firefox

Not so done if it's not working, eh?

Greasemonkey scripts live in folder called "gm_scripts" in the Firefox
Profile folder.

WINDOWS > C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox
\Profiles
MAC >  ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles.

It should be as simple as a C# program copying your greasemonkey script from
a temporary location to this folder.

Here are two articles also that might be of help:

http://userscripts.org/topics/34937?page=1#posts-168060
http://lifehacker.com/241762/hack-attack-sync-your-greasemonkey-scripts-across-computers

...to get you thinking in the right direction.

Regards,
Ryan
