    Even though Greasemonkey JavaScript runs with elevated privileges, as Pointy said, setTimeout functions are appended to the page's JavaScript space -- wrapped in a closure as needed. (In normal operation, the Greasemonkey instance is often gone by the time any timers, it has set, fire.)

    So, if the page's main JavaScript is disabled, the timer will never run.

    Possible workarounds:

    • Use GM_xmlhttpRequest as a crude delay. You can setup a page that deliberately draws out its response. So code like:

      GM_xmlhttpRequest
      (
          {
              method: "GET",
              url:    "http://YourTestServer.com/DelayService.php?Seconds=2",
              onload: function (response) {YourDelayedFunctionHere (); }
          }
      );
      

      Would call a utility page that you set up to do the delay for you.

    • Use NoScript to disable all of the page's JavaScript except for the main page. For example, for page, YourSite.com/testpage.htm, which includes scripts from, say, *SpamGenerator.net... Allow scripts from YourSite.com but block them from SpamGenerator.net.
