[Greasemonkey] Re: Gm Bug in Firefox 1.5.0.4

[Andre]

Thanks Aaron,

good tip. I will change my script accordingly.

Some funny additional detail: When I refreshed the not-working page (as 
Bill O'Donnely mentioned) the script was executed, but now the 
"NoScript" icon indicates that scripts are forbidden ... The menu offers 
to allow scripts for "WYCIWYG" (see some other previous mail)

Cheers, Andre

P.S. I am against a forum. The mailing list is so much more convenient ...
