Warning for TabMixPlus and GreaseMonkey users (Firefox)

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

I help a lot of you guys out on Firefox problems around here, so I thought it might be good to give you a heads up.

The latest build of Greasemonkey breaks compatibility with Tab Mix Plus. Technically, the bug is in the latter, but that doesn’t matter. What does matter is that your Middle click will stop working.

Greasemonkey has a workaround in version 0.9.11, available here.

And so this is a thread and not just an announcement, here’s how I dicovered it and a question:

I had just ran a spyware scanner that has a mode for making Firefox more secure. I had just enabled it when the update activated. So I thought it caused the problem. Have you ever had a tech problem that seemed to be caused by one thing, but was actually caused by another?

I noticed the Greasemonkey/TabMix Plus deal this morning, and found the solution just as you did: coincidentally. I actually went there to fix another problem (all my Greasemonkey scripts stopped loading) and stumbled on this secondary issue that had plagued me for the last half hour.
