Yes.  The context item becomes available when the URL pointed to by
the link ends in ".user.js", which all user scripts should do.

So are you sure it's a link to a user script, as the page specifies?

Hmm.  The full sentence there is "Or, you can select the same option
under the tools menu while viewing the contents of a user script
file."

Note that it's _"while viewing the contents of a user script file"_. 
That sentence says the same thing I did.

Did you follow the link I included to the script and try to install that?  :)

Can you suggest some way that the explanation could have been clearer?
