I installed it and within FF using google groups, nothing seems to happen or have changed? Does it not work with newer versions of FF? (FF does report that it is installed and running). As a cross-check, there is no greasemonkey.scriptvals./Google Groups Killfile.MeFiBl in about:config, but there again, I haven't killed any user yet as I cant figure out how to get the script to show anything on any groups topic-list page?

Weaver Wed, 11 May 2011 18:34:13 +0000 http://www.penney.org/google-groups-killfile-3-5-3-released.html#comment-48880 I tried posting this yesterday, but it did not show up on the website...so apologies if it does eventually appear twice. The killfile script has been working very well for me for quite a while. However, I just started having a very strange problem with it: I.e., it now works ONLY when I'm not logged in to my Google account. When I log in, all evidence of the script vanishes--e.g., no options to ignore users or topics, and topics/users that are abolished to the killfile when I'm not logged in suddenly reappear. Has anyone else experienced this? I'd be grateful for any thoughts on how to fix it. Cheers, Bruce I tried posting this yesterday, but it did not show up on the website…so apologies if it does eventually appear twice.

Weaver Wed, 11 May 2011 01:04:01 +0000 http://www.penney.org/google-groups-killfile-3-5-3-released.html#comment-48867 Just wondering if anyone else has encountered this problem: The killfile script works just fine, but only when I'm not logged in to my Google account. As soon as I do log in, all evidence of the script vanishes, and messages/threads I've killed reappear. Any thoughts on why this is happening? Thanks.

Just in case there's something fixable, or a pointer to some info elsewhere.
