firefox - How to alter this javascript with Greasemonkey?

Question

Here is the script:

<script type="text/javascript">
// <![CDATA[
$(document).ready(function() {
  $('#file_upload').uploadify({
    'uploader'  : '/uploadify/uploadify.swf',
    'script'    : '/upload2.php',
    'cancelImg' : '/uploadify/cancel.png',
    'folder'    : '/uploads',
    'auto'      : false,

    'onError'     : function (event,ID,fileObj,errorObj) {
      alert(errorObj.type + ' Error: ' + errorObj.info);
    },
    'fileExt'     : '*.wma;*.mp3',
    'fileDesc'    : 'Audio Files',
    'scriptData'  : {'fileID':'20541','hash':'2e1177c09a6503d11b1a401177022de50409e96279a2dbb11c5aef5783d231c975da22e2ddfd480b5e050f4fb09d9b7caa47a71ab0150b7c462b06d06e61e664','hashit':'fe458d423c6d1c18248b73dad776a9d4a6ff1ac9fc4b07674b3715b4992a80b9d2b4e3a340973642497d66ac8e8d57d7aa737f8911a784888b164e84961f177a'},
    'onComplete'  : function(eventID,ID,fileObj,response,data) {
        window.location = "http://www.messageshare.com/welcome/file_farm/20541/fe458d423c6d1c18248b73dad776a9d4a6ff1ac9fc4b07674b3715b4992a80b9d2b4e3a340973642497d66ac8e8d57d7aa737f8911a784888b164e84961f177a";
    }
  });
});
// ]]>
</script>

I need to change 'auto' from false to true.

Since all those scriptData values seem liable to change from page load to page load, what you'd want to do is intercept that <script> node on the fly, clone it and only change 'auto' to true, using RegEx.

On Firefox Greasemonkey, you can do that with the stupefyingly brilliant (^_^) checkForBadJavascripts utility. Like so:

// ==UserScript==
// @name     _Modify JS as it's loaded
// @include  http://YOUR_SERVER.COM/YOUR_PATH/*
// @require  https://gist.github.com/raw/2620135/checkForBadJavascripts.js
// @run-at   document-start
// @grant    GM_addStyle
// ==/UserScript==
/*- The @grant directive is needed to work around a design change
    introduced in GM 1.0.   It restores the sandbox.
*/

function replaceTargetJavascript (scriptNode) {
    var scriptSrc   = scriptNode.textContent;
    scriptSrc       = scriptSrc.replace (
        /'auto's+:s+false/,
        "'auto'      : true"
    );

    addJS_Node (scriptSrc);
}

checkForBadJavascripts ( [
    [false, /'auto's+:s+false/, replaceTargetJavascript]
] );
