Greasemonkey script runs on every website

I installed a greasemonkey script to include on only one website:

http://example.com/*

but it works on every website, me too. I deleted it and added it again, only 1 is included, but it still works on every page, what can I do wrong?

This is usually caused by a block of incorrect metadata.

There should be no leading space, and directives are (usually) case sensitive.

Good:

 // ==UserScript== // @name YOUR_SCRIPT_NAME // @include http://YOUR_SERVER.COM/YOUR_PATH/* // ==/UserScript==


Bad:

  // ==UserScript== // @name YOUR_SCRIPT_NAME // @include http://YOUR_SERVER.COM/YOUR_PATH/* // ==/UserScript==


Bad:

 //==UserScript== //@name YOUR_SCRIPT_NAME //@include http://YOUR_SERVER.COM/YOUR_PATH/* //==/UserScript==


Bad:

 // ==UserScript== // @name YOUR_SCRIPT_NAME // @include http://YOUR_SERVER.COM/YOUR_PATH/* // ==/UserScript==


and etc.

Also, script parameters can override what is in your metadata block. Check them out or just uninstall and reinstall the script.
