This was just answered for me. I'll quote the response I received.
Since a couple of releases there are two new 'hidden' preferences:
greasemonkey.aboutIsGreaseable
greasemonkey.fileIsGreaseable
The default value is "false". If you want Greasemonkey to run on
file:/// urls, you have to set the second one to "true" (in
about:config).
I only run script I've written, but it you run outside script, there is a
security issue with changing these settings.
