Folks, As a web developer, I currently have three copies of Firefox (each with its own profile, due to incompatibilities among add-ons between versions) -- 2, 3, and 3,5. I also have several other profiles that I use from time to time.
After updating the includes for a script or two (then copying it among my various FF profiles) or updating the a script itself (and having to distribute the changes to the various FF profiles), I decided to try to see if it's possible to have a "master" gm_scripts directory shared among multiple profiles. Of course, I wouldn't be writing this if it weren't possible. I'm on a Mac, so your exact steps may be a bit different. First, I moved the best copy of gm_scripts directory into a common location that is shared among all the profiles. On a Mac, it is here: /Users/dland/Library/Application Settings/Firefox/gm_scripts Then, in each of the profile directories, I deleted gm_scripts and replaced it with a "symlink" (a Un*x "alias") so that Firefox thinks the folder is actually inside the profile. Now, if I "Manage User Scripts" from any Firefox browser and make changes (changing the includes or excludes, enabling or disabling scripts, or even editing scripts), I'm doing it for all my Firefox profiles at once.
