1. go to your Opera directory;
2. enter your profile directory "Opera\profile";
3. create a folder called "userjs";
4. start Opera browser, write "opera:config" in your address bar and hit Enter;
5. in the Preferences Editor window, using the search field, search for "javascript" and you'll get something like this:

6. make sure the highlighted fields look the same as in the screenshot above;
7. download the desired script (these files have ".js" extension) and save it in your newly created "userjs" folder ("Opera\profile\userjs");
8. restart Opera browser.

Note: disregard all the above quotation marks.


First example (go to the script's homepage, right click the "Install" button and choose "Save Linked Content As..."):

Linkify plus - Turn plain text URLs into links. Supports http, https, ftp, email addresses.
Version: 2.0.1

Tested with Opera 10.61 on win7x64 and Firefox 4 pre beta 6 with Greasemonkey 2010.09.10 beta (I'll mention if it works with Greasemonkey for FF, too, but Opera is the main subject here :) ).

P.S. if you use Greasemonkey, you obviously don't need instructions on how to use scripts with Firefox!



F.Y.I

and im sad to report it breaks the captcha system used for uploading/verification on some sites :(
i was pulling my hair out..

And you're sure it (captcha) works if you uncheck User JavaScript?
I don't think this is the cause...maybe an extension... I have these exact same settings and few scripts in my folder and I have no problems with captcha or upload systems.
