How can i disable a userscript while keeping greasemonkey add-on disabled?
Earlier, i installed the userscript "Dailymotion AutoPlay Killa". Some hours later i closed FF for the first time after installing this userscript and after that i couldn't open the browser again. I kept clicking on my desktop icon and nothing would happen. Finally, i started FF in safe mode and after disabling greasemonkey i could open the browser normally. However, i have more userscripts installed besides the one i mentioned, so i need to enable greasemonkey again, but by doing that the userscript gets also enabled and i can't restart my FF. Is there any way to disable this userscript while keeping greasemonkey disabled?
Thank you

I just deleted the related files found in C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\something.default\gm_scripts but i still can't open firefox after enabling greasemonkey. Either i didn't completely disable the userscript by deleting those files or the add-on greasemonkey is responsible for this problem and not the userscript "Dailymotion AutoPlay Killa".

- Open your profile folder.
- Open the gm_scripts subfolder.
- Create a backup copy of the config.xml file.
- Open config.xml in a text editor like Notepad. Find the <Script ... </Script> section for the script in question, and change enabled="true" to enabled="false". Save and close the file.

If you deleted the script subfolder (something like Dailymotion_AutoPlay_Killa), also delete the aforementioned <Script ... </Script> section from config.xml.
Hello Gingerbread_Man,
I tried both things you suggested (setting enabled="false" and deleting completely the <Script>... </Script> section from config.xml), but still i couldn't restart FF after enabling greasemonkey.
Any other ideas?
Thank you for your time.

Then like you suspected, the problem lies elsewhere: either with another script, or Greasemonkey itself.
Edit config.xml again and replace all instances of enabled="true" with enabled="false". In Notepad, press Ctrl+H to bring up the Replace dialog.
If Firefox starts afterwards, you can gradually re-enable scripts in the Add-ons Manager and restart Firefox until you hit the problematic one. Once you find it, delete it and remove its reference from config.xml as described above.
If Firefox still won't start with all scripts disabled, then you'll have to disable Greasemonkey in Firefox Safe Mode as you've done before. Head over to the Greasemonkey support site below.
I decided i can live without greasemonkey, so i removed it completely from my add-ons list.
