[Greasemonkey] New patched greasemonkey for Firefox 1.5 beta 2

[Gareth Andrew]

Hi Chris,

What version of bookburro and zoomtextarea are you trying to use?  The
versions I downloaded don't seem to be compatible with GM 0.6.2 i.e.
they use onclick instead of addEventListener()[1]. I also tried the
patched version of bookburro at [2], but it doesn't do anything or give
an error.  
As for the patch, I made heavy use of log() and made the simplest patch
I could to make the error go away without changing functionality.
Although, it has to be said, I have no idea why this patch was needed,
since the Array.join code hasn't changed in years, and is presumably
pretty stable.  I suspect there may be still be a few problems with
XPCNativeWrappers, but I can't debug any further without a debug build
of firefox and a lot of patience.

Gareth.
