Use this API to register user scripts, third-party scripts designed to manipulate webpages or provide new features. Registering a user script instructs the browser to attach the script to pages that match the URL patterns specified during registration.

> **Note:** This is documentation for the legacy API version, available in Firefox for Manifest V2. A new API has been designed, see [WECG issue 279](https://github.com/w3c/webextensions/issues/279). This new version of the API will be available in Firefox for use in Manifest V3. Development is tracked in [Firefox bug 1875475](https://bugzil.la/1875475). Chrome includes [an implementation of the new API](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/api/userScripts). Meanwhile, when using Manifest V3 or higher, use {{WebExtAPIRef("scripting.registerContentScripts()")}} to register scripts.

Chrome includes [an implementation of the new API](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/api/userScripts). Meanwhile, when using Manifest V3 or higher, use {{WebExtAPIRef("scripting.registerContentScripts()")}} to register scripts.

This API offers similar capabilities to {{WebExtAPIRef("contentScripts")}} but with features suited to handling third-party scripts:

- execution is in an isolated sandbox: each user script is run in an isolated sandbox within the web content processes, preventing accidental or deliberate interference among scripts.
- access to the `window` and `document` global values related to the webpage the user script is attached to.
- no access to WebExtension APIs or associated permissions granted to the extension: the API script, which inherits the extension's permissions, can provide packaged WebExtension APIs to registered user scripts. An API script is declared in the extension's manifest file using the "user_scripts" manifest key.

> **Warning:** This API requires the presence of the [`user_scripts`](/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/manifest.json/user_scripts) key in the manifest.json, even if no API script is specified. For example. `user_scripts: {}`.

> This API requires the presence of the [`user_scripts`](/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/manifest.json/user_scripts) key in the manifest.json, even if no API script is specified. For example. `user_scripts: {}`.

To use the API, call `{{WebExtAPIRef("userScripts.register","register()")}}` passing in an object defining the scripts to register. The method returns a Promise that is resolved with a `{{WebExtAPIRef("userScripts.RegisteredUserScript","RegisteredUserScript")}}` object.

> **Note:** User scripts are unregistered when the related extension page (from which the user scripts were registered) is unloaded, so you should register a user script from an extension page that persists at least as long as you want the user scripts to stay registered.
