Sorry for the slow response.

User scripts are installed into greasemonkey by opening the file in
Firefox (File, Open File...).  GM will recognize the file as a script
based on the .user.js ending of the URL and place a banner at the top.
 You can click the banner button to install the script.

If that still doesn't work, then I'd suspect Firefox doesn't think the
script is a known mime type (text, etc).  If that's the case, maybe
its guessing wrong because the file has a lot of binary in it, or
because it's in an unusual encoding.   Try ascii or UTF-8, and try a
very simple user script (alert('hi') would work).

If that still doesn't work, then I think there must be a configuration
issue on your box.  :-/
