I named the 2 scripts as name.user.js, imported them in chrome and got
them reported as 'extension installed'.  The actions done by the
script firefox are missing.
My conclusion was 'must be a different format' so I started looking up
examples for chrome extensions to modify page contents, as a start to
then reuse code from the existing scripts.

Looking at it from 'should actually be compatible' I should more look
into debugging what chrome does with the existing code I guess.
