Yeah I'm sorry, I confused my tools. I always mix up some detail.

Hm, yeah that's a tough problem. The issue with using the code which
is being displayed in the browser is that Greasemonkey itself might
change the contents of the window, or some other extension might. In
general, the contents of the window might not actually be valid
javascript anymore. This actually happens if you have linkify
installed (which I always do, so this is a non-starter for me).

I guess the solution is to only consider it a valid user script if the
URL matches and you get an HTTP 200. Low prio though.

If you can send along the error, or add it to
http://greasemonkey.mozdev.org/bugs.html, it would help. Can't
guarantee I'll get to it anytime soon, but it's a start..

Yeah that dialog is the bane of my existence. I haven't tried to fix
it recently, maybe it's time for another shot.

Horray, that makes me happy :-)
