Firemonkey is a totally new extension that can handle both user Scripts and user CSS. While it has similar functions to user script extensions like GreaseMonkey/Tampermonkey/Violentmonkey, and user CSS extensions like Stylish/Stylus, there are differences. Similar to GreaseMonkey, scripts (or CSS) are injected in tabs and for a new script/CSS to have an effect, tab must be reloaded. The behaviour differs from Stylus which can inject CSS into a tab and remove it without having to reload the tab.
Note: None of my extensions contain any tracking, advertising or privacy infringement.
Note: Version 1.0 is the first release. Please let me know if you find overlooked issues by posting to the support site.
Note: The Official release of the API has been postponed to FF68. The API can be manually enabled for Firefox 65 to 67 users via about:config?filter=extensions.webextensions.userScripts.enabled
The API is enabled by default on Nightly.
