[Greasemonkey] Cannot use GreaseMonkey :-(

GreaseMonkey gets me crazy, so let's start from the beginning.
I followed this link : http://greasemonkey.mozdev.com/using.html
Citation : You can install scripts by right-clicking on links to them and 
selecting "Install User Script..."
False for my configuration. When the author of this page speaks about LINK, 
he (she) refers to the <a href="..."> ... </a> tag?
When I right click on a link, the only things I have is "Open the link in a 
new tab", followed by a separation bar, then other links option (save link 
target as, ...)

Citation : ... Or, you can select the same option under the tools menu
False, because you told me that this option is unavailable when I have no 
user script for the current page.

At your question "Do you actually have any scripts installed?" the answer is 
no. I have no user scripts installed because this is the first time I use 
GreaseMonkey. I just want to install my first script, that's all.

My only question is "what must I do to install my own user script?" I 
thought that the page http://greasemonkey.mozdev.com/using.html was a quick 
start documentation, but no :-( There is probably something that goes wrong, 
but what?

When I choose "View source" in the context menu of a page, I have no 
GreaseMonkey option in my menu.

Firefox, options &quot;Install user script&quot; and &quot;user<br>&gt; &gt; 
script commands&quot; are grayed (unavailable). There is no context menu 
entry in<br>&gt; &gt; the link context menu, and when I use &quot;Manage 
user scripts&quot; in the Tools<br>&gt; &gt; menu, clicking on the edit 
button at the bottom of the window (near<br>&gt; &gt; &quot;Enabled&quot; 
checkbox), the window GreaseMonkey window closes itself, without<br>&gt; 
&gt; doing anything else.<br>&gt;<br>&gt;&quot;Install user script&quot; is 
only enabled when you're currently viewing a<br>&gt;user script in the 
window.<br>&gt;<br>&gt;&quot;User script commands&quot; is only enabled when 
a user script has<br>&gt;registered some commands.<br>&gt;<br>&gt;It's 
normal for the UI to go away when you click edit.<br>&gt;<br>&gt;So the only 
weirdness you're seeing is that you're not getting shelled<br>&gt;to your 
text editor when you click &quot;Edit&quot;.  Do you actually have 
any<br>&gt;scripts installed?  I notice that if you don't have a user 
script<br>&gt;selected in the list on the left, GM behaves the way you 
describe.<br>&gt;<br>&gt;Go to the directory page, view a user script, and 
see if Install User<br>&gt;Script becomes 
enabled:<br>&gt;http://dunck.us/collab/GreaseMonkeyUserScripts<br>&gt;<br>&gt;Here's 
an example script, for 
ease:<br>&gt;http://www.langenhoven.com/code/gsearch/gsearchrate.user.js<br>&gt;<br>&gt;And 
an explanation of what it 
does:<br>&gt;http://www.langenhoven.com/code/gsearch/gsearchrate.php<br>&gt;<br>&gt;Anyway, 
once you've installed that, see if the edit button behaves<br>&gt;like you'd 
expect.<br>&gt;_______________________________________________<br>&gt;Greasemonkey
