On rereading the previous question, I realised it came out sounding
even more idiotic than I intended. How did I imagine such a magical
thing ("across browsers") would work? I was thinking of two kinds of
possibilities:
1. Store this information somewhere online. I believe this ought to be
possible with GM_xmlhttpRequest, except that Chrome seems to only
allow same-domain requests (so far:
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=18857
). I guess this makes it infeasible as far as Chrome is concerned, but
it would work for the case of multiple Firefox profiles?
2. Store this information on a file on disk, which both profiles (or
both browsers) could write to/read from. Is it correct that for
security reasons, Greasemonkey (or Firefox) does not allow scripts to
access files on disk?
Thanks,
