Are you sure a "text/plain" userscript is being displayed? Or that a 
userscript with a command is operative on the website currently open?
these are necessary for (1) or (2), respectively.

What operating system? In Windows, you need to set the proper environment 
variable for the editor. I don't know how to do this. In linux, it appears 
to be impossible. In OSX, it happens for me automatically.

Generally, Just open the script in a browser window (file->open), edit with 
a seperate editor, refresh the browser after saving, and re-install 
(Tools->Install UserScript). 

Alternately, find the userscripts under the greasemonkey extensions in your 
firefox preferences directory (try a search for 
"{e4a8a97b-f2ed-450b-b12d-ee082ba24781}", then it's 
'chrome/greasemonky/content/scripts/' or some such), open that with an 
editor, and have a field day.



What may I do? I've been uninstall the extension, downloaded lattest version
