BOB not working

[Tripitaka]

Firefox v20.0.1
Greasemonkey v1.8
Bob v5.2.4
Conquertell4 v1.0.3

This morning everything was working fine. Later I decided to make some space on my hard drive by deleting some old videos and pictures using File Shredder. While they were being shredded I clicked back to Firefox, where I had several tabs open and tried to view my games. The page wouldn't load then a box opened up asking if I wanted to disable a script on the page or continue (or words to that effect). This has happened a few times before, but usually only when my computer is running slow and I'm trying to load one particular game that has been going on forever. Anyway I clicked continue (at least I think I did because that's what I generally click on) and eventually the page loaded, but was displaying as if BOB wasn't installed. I can't click on any of the in-game snapshots I have previously taken as the links don't work and appear as a jumble of characters and Bob has completely disappeared from the side menu.

I checked to see if the user script was still installed and enabled and it is along with Conquertell which is still working as normal. I then checked Greasemonkey and that is also enabled, except now I don't have the monkey icon at the bottom of my page like before. I did notice that there was a newer version of GM so I installed that but this didn't fix the problem, Nor did unintsalling/reinstalling BOB and GM or clearing the cache and deleting cookies etc.

Finally I tried uninstalling everything again including Firefox (while keeping my profile, because I didn't want to loose my bookmarks etc) and reinstalling, but still no joy.

Since I'm not very computer savvy I have no idea what else I can do, so any help/advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

The Greasemonkey icon should now be a button with a drop down menu in your Navigation Toolbar (next to where you type in URLs, or enter search info). You might want to review the Troubleshooting Information available through the Firefox Help menu. On that page there is a Reset Firefox button which you can read about here:
http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/res ... n&r=4&as=s
It looks like a good way to get a clean start while keeping important information, and still have a way of recovering stuff that it cleans out.

I managed to restore the monkey icon on my toolbar (not that that really matters since I could still access Greasemonkey etc through the Tools drop down on the menu bar).

I looked at the Firefox trouble shooting page before I posted, but wanted to hold off doing the reset until I had a second opinion....but now I'll give it a go and hopefully that works!

Thanks ender!


Edit: Yay! It worked!!! Thanks again!

The fact that there was no monkey icon but Greasemonkey was still in the Tools menu tells me something was only half-installed. Good to hear it has all worked out. I will move this to the Tools Archive.
