    Doesn't do anything. Even when enabled sites still detect ad-blocking and try to prevent it.

    There are no obvious ways to actually install scripts, except copy-paste into editor (except File/Import on "Utilities" tab, which turns out to be for configuration rather than user scripts).
    The support site doesn't quite work (has a frozen pop-up on top), but what shows gives Chrome specific instructions.

    > There are no obvious ways to actually install scripts

    Script installation works by loading URLs that end up on ".user.js". This can be done by clicking a link or manually entering the URL. You can also drag and drop files ending up on ".user.js" to Firefox. Finally you can use the "Utilities" tab, enter a URL at the "URL" section and click "Import".

    Do you have JavaScript blocked/disabled i.e. via NoScript?

    > but what shows gives Chrome specific instructions

    This is on my TODO list. However, many answers apply regardless of browser in use.

    There is really no excuse for having one's addon obfuscated. In fact, Tampermonkey is the only addon I know of that deliberately obfuscates its code! That brings the question: what are the developers trying to hide and why?
    If you don't want anybody else to fork your extension, just release it under a restrictive custom license, and everybody will be happy. There is no way somebody could abuse such a license and benefit from it. So we'll be looking forward to a release w/o deliberate obfuscation!

    Either there is nothing hidden besides the concrete implementation or neither the Mozilla Add-on review team, nor the Opera extension review team, nor the Windows Store team did their job.

    > There is no way somebody could abuse such a license and benefit from it.

    In a perfect world: yes.

    I could not get Mouseover Popup Image Viewer to work properly at all. I'll stick with older Firefox 52.x and have working scripts! Using Tampermonkey all I got on sankakucomplex was the sankakucomplex banner in large zoom view. Also could not set any settings for the script at all as it would not save.

    Wish someone could update Greasemonkey to work with newer browser as they know what they are doing.

    This is working fine here with:

    * Tampermonkey 4.5.5570
    * Firefox 56.0 (64-bit)
    * https://greasyfork.org/scripts/404-mouseover-popup-image-viewer/code/Mouseover%20Popup%20Image%20Viewer.user.js

    Do you have other add-ons installed? Please disable them and check if Tampermonkey is working as expected. Many WebExtension developers report problems with legacy add-ons.

    Whenever i do a change, i must wait like 5s until i can continue writing (this happens if i stop writing for like 1 second), it's imposible to make things with this lag, hate it totally

    Please try to disable the internal linter:

    "Config mode" -> "Advanced" and then disable "Automatic syntax check on typing"

    If this doesn't help you can also try to disable the option "Highlight trailing whitespace".

    Config mode -> Advanced,

    Doesn't work at all in the latest Firefox Beta for Android. Or Firefox for Android in general.
    A shame, because it's flawless if executed in a desktop PC.
