"FireMonkey" is a Firefox add-on built as a lightweight user Scripts and user Styles manager.

Notably, it supports a secure dedicated API for handling User-Scripts, has script/CSS auto and manual update features, capabilities for direct install from online sources, and offers tools for error logging, notifications and more. It's also free of any tracking, advertising or privacy infringement.

Had trouble with this script 'Font-Size Fix' found on GreasyFork, and was unable to uninstall it. Script works fine with ViolentMonkey.
