[Greasemonkey] "Manage User Scripts..." not working?

Scratch that "TinyMenu not working" comment - Anthony emailed me
directly and after thinking about it again I was able to get it
working. Sort of.

I uninstalled Compact Menu, then installed Tiny menu and restarted
Firefox. Upon coming up, Tiny Menu was doing it's job, but the MUS
from GM was still broken. I uninstalled Tiny Menu, restarted Firefox,
then found everything to be ok. I reinstalled Compact Menu,
disappointmented, and planned to live with it like that.

What I realized after talking to Anthony was that the settings weren't
being properly restored. I had to uninstall Compact Menu, restart
Firefox, then install Tiny Menu, restart again, then things seemed to
work just fine! MUS would open and my menu was small. The only issue
now was the placement of it (I liked it next to the address bar), at
which time Anthony pointed out he simply moved everything up. =P I've
been used to having my bookmark toolbar on the far top, but I can live
with it one down.

I moved everything (address bar, buttons, etc) up next to the Tiny
Menu, then moved the bookmark toolbar icons down. Good enough, or so I
thought... suddenly MUS from GM wouldn't work again. It was doing the
same thing Compact Menu was - just not opening. I restarted Firefox
and suddenly it was working again. As a test, I customized the
toolbars again (just moving a button down) and sure enough, MUS from
GM was broken again. After a restart, all was well.

What I figured out - as long as I don't change the toolbar
configurations (which I rarely do after I have them setup), Tiny Menu
and GM play nice together. (I can even turn on/off the Web Developer
toolbar, which I leave off unless I intend to use it.) It works just
like Compact Menu, minus the ease of moving it around. (I also noticed
that it doesn't include the "Bookmark" addition that Compact Menu
does, but I didn't have that on the toolbar anyway.)

All in all, the problem has been solved and I didn't lose anything
exepct for having to move my bookmarks down a line (no biggie). Thanks
for everything!! A very happy camper. =)
