As I'm sure you're aware, Greasemonkey 4, due to release with FF 57, is not backwards compatible. Scripts will need to be adapted.

Please document which of the following options for Greasemonkey <4 users will be open regarding SOUP:

  1. SOUP will be ported to Greasemonkey 4.
  2. SOUP will no longer be support Greasemonkey; use Tampermonkey (or...?).
  3. SOUP will no longer be support Firefox as a userscript; use the browser extension.

As far as I'm aware, SOUP should in fact be compatible with GM4 as it is, since it does not use the GM_* API or unsafeWindow. That said, I should indeed test that and document the results, since I'm sure you're not the only one with that question.

I've tested SOUP with GM4, and it indeed works just fine, except for a few issues caused by known FF57 / GM4 bugs. I've worked around most of those issues, although the bug that prevents script installation from GitHub is not something I can do much about. (I could provide an alternative installation source for GM4 users, but it's probably easier to just recommend the stand-alone version of SOUP instead.) Anyway, the SOUP StackApps page already describes the current state of GM4 support, and I expect that, once GM4 stabilizes properly, it should continue to run SOUP just fine.
