A quick Google search turns up this blog post by Keith Gaughan:

IMHO this would be an excellent candidate for a GM_ core function, b/c
almost any user script will suffer from this issue in FF 1.5 pending
the bug fix:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=241518

The script is licensed under the Common Public License
(http://www.opensource.org/licenses/cpl.php), not sure how this
relates to GM itself.

Drilling down across the net a bit more, I found more similar
approaches. The Event Cache by Mark Wubben looks also very promising
to me. Check it out here:

And, see Aaron Boodman's comments: http://youngpup.net/2005/0221010713
