Perhaps you have something that blocks scripts, like the NoScript addon for firefox?

Do you use the Greasemonkey script?

Oops. It's late here and I didn't notice that. I don't use the script so I guess that's your problem.

I had a problem too, trying to install the most recent version of the greasemonkey script.
It's curious, because the link posted on the first post of the thread didn't work, but the one that woelpad put at the end of the thread did (or maybe it was the other way around).

It could be that there's a small inconsistency on the links.

EDIT: Also, the star, copy and report buttons work for me, but with some delay. I have to wait some seconds for them to register.

woelpad's latest update might fix this up.

Indeed it should. If not, be sure to report back. I also upgraded a few other scripts in the past week, none of them crucial, but if you like to be on the edge, check out Woelpad's scripts. All Firefox, none Opera.

I'm using the "alternate keywords" script, and I don't know whether the problem is with the page, the script or both.

In cases like these, deactivate the script by opening the Greasemonkey management dialog (Tools -> Greasemonkey -> Manage user scripts), selecting the script and clearing the Active checkbox in the lowerleft corner. Then reload the page, check the original behavior, draw your conclusions and reactivate the script in a similar way.

I just realized that it's main function is partially broken. I can see keywords modified previously, but when I try to modify a keyword now, it just doesn't stick and I just can't replace the original one.

You're probably exiting Firefox the wrong way, using the window title bar's x button instead of the close command in the file menu. Quoting an old post:

Warning: You need to explicitly close FireFox (using File -> Close) first to get your changes. When closing, make sure that you're not locking prefs.js, i.e. not have it opened in a text editor, otherwise you will lose your changes, which may amount to all your changes if you're in the habit of restoring the previous FireFox session everytime you restart your computer.

They're identical. 10000 in 1, you downloaded the moment I was uploading? Improbable though.

I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.11 and have no problems. I also checked out the Substitute Keywords script, but that didn't cause any problems, either.

You might try disabling Greasemonkey completely and, failing that, each of your extensions in turn.

I had the same problem.  I got rid of Veoh which is sort of like Miro.  Miro does wierd things to my computer too.  Anyway, then I reinstalled firefox and greasemonkey and now it's fine.  But, it could have been something else.  I'm not a computer person.  good luck.

I had this problem yesterday too, though there are no extensions or plugins installed on this machine. When it happened, I had a lot of tabs open as well. Restarting Firefox cleared it up.
