I use XPather, a FF extension that integrates seamlessly into the DOM
inspector.  So far I haven't had any problems with it. It will suggest you
alternative expressions for an xpath, it also allows you to test your own.
For example, you can enter an xpath expression, then XPather will list 
all DOM nodes that are reachables through it; clicking on them you navigate 
to the element and can preview it in the DOM inspector.
For simple content deletion tasks I use RIP+XPather; if something more 
complex is involved I resort to GM. Don't know whether it is available
for 1.5.
Sorry if this was not very GM specific, I just thought it might be helpfull
to you.
