Local scripts don't autoupdate on Firefox #460

@ghost

Description

What is the problem?

I can't edit my scripts locally when using Firefox. I know I'm supposed to use an http server for the job and I thought I could use my already running apache http server but nothing is happening. Violentmonkey isn't complaining about errors and the path where it is loading my userscripts from is http://localhost/userscripts/myscript.user.js
Apache is set to follow symlinks and the userscripts folder isn't in my apache root path. Just wanted to mention this custom setting I have.

How to reproduce it?

  1. Start an apache http server
  2. Symlink a folder from a different location
  3. Open and install the userscript as usual enabling local checks in the options

What is the expected result?

Autoupdates

What is the actual result?

No changes at all

Environment
