On Drupal.org, in the handbook, create a page describing how this script is
helpful, what FireFox versions work with it, ...etc. Attach the link to
userscripts.org from there.

Then create an issue for webmasters, with the link to your just created page
and ask someone to put it in the right section (I am guessing developers
guide).
