[Greasemonkey] Newbie Simple (Should Be) Question about Replacing CSS

[Matt Labrum]

Firefox would already be loading those style sheets by the time you replace 
them , http://blog.thedt.net/cskinner does what you want (loading custom css 
onto a page and saving them) 

hmm new GM api? GM_stopLoad('xxx.css'); or GM_stopLoad('xxx.js');
