[Greasemonkey] Storing large integers with GM_setValue overflows?

[Aaron Boodman]

so, you're doing like:

GM_setValue("foo", new Date().getTime()) ?

Yeah, I would image that should definitely work. If it isn't perhaps
some underlying limitation on the XPCOM preferences object (which
would suck).

File a bug please, and as a workaround:

GM_setValue("foo", new Date().getTime() + "");
parseInt(GM_getValue("foo", 0));
