Cannot Install Scripts

[Don-88]

All of a sudden I cannot install new Greasemonkey scripts for Firefox
3.5.5 on two different Windows XP machines.

If I double click on the .user.js file I get the error "'top' is
undefined" in a "Windows Script Host" error popup, and dragging
the .user.js file into an open Firefox window (naturally after the
plugin has been installed) just loads the JS code in a window and does
not install it.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to remedy this problem please?

SOLUTION FOUND! ;)

This is usually due to a missing config file or gm_scripts directory
in your Firefox Profile.
Go to your profile directory something like this:

    c:\Documents and Settings\<Windows login/user name>\Application
Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\13rzw4zp.default\

or on Vista:

    C:\Users\<Windows login/user name>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox
\Profiles\13rzw4zp.default\

You should have a gm_scripts directory inside which should be a
config.xml file.
If not, make an empty gm_scripts folder and an empty config.xml inside
that folder & then install your scripts 1 by 1.
It could also be a missing config.xml inside your gm_scripts folder so
create a new empty one.

PS: had same problem,on last Firefox version 3.5.5 and latest
Greasemonkey on XP!
i just created new folder and renamed: 13rzw4zp.default, added inside
a new folder called: gm_scripts and add inside this a text file
renamed:  config.xml
Happily all fixed now!
