Sure, prevent it to be automatically updated if you want, but let me manually update it via the context menu!

When you right click on one script? When you wrench-drop-down>check for updates? Both? Something else?

When you right click on one script?

This one. At least.
I assume users that modify specific scripts don't want their edits to be overwritten when doing batch updates.

Only individually via the script context menu.

I've looked into this a bit now. Unfortunately, whether you use the wrench to 'Check for Updates' to everything, or the context menu, it's the Add-ons Manager issuing the exact same call, so we can't tell them apart. It passes in the update listener, and that object seems to be defined in a private scope.

So "just via the context menu" might be hard. Re-implementing those internal firefox bits seems fragile, so probably not a feasible path.

If it's a Firefox limitation then it might be worth opening a issue on their bugzilla?

Can't you just add another option to the context menu that says "force update" for locally modified scripts?

Of course. That seems like a great idea.

Why was this closed? It's really something I need to quickly update my script from git.

@Darker: edit file locally (i.e. add comment), then "Forced Find Updates" is available in script's context menu

Erm this is gone again with GM4, right? At least I can never see scripts in the addons manager and the script menu always just says enabled edit and uninstall.

(Auto) update is still in the work. Not yet there...

Thank you @Eselce .
I wasn't sure if it automatically updates in the background without notice so I had different search terms.
