Everyone was once.

You should probably get familiar with the basics by reading through
and playing with the examples at
http://www.diveintogreasemonkey.org/toc/. If you need a primer on
javascript, there are a million and one sites that cover that (is
there one or two in particular that people reference? I personally
started with Javascript Bible).

The easiest way to accomplish this in GM is an @include statement.
Below, the redirect only happens if you're on http://www.yahoo.com/.

// ==UserScript==
// @name           Move from yahoo to google
// @namespace      http://planb-security.net/examples
// @description    Favor Google over Yahoo, for whatever reason
// @include        http://www.yahoo.com/
// ==/UserScript==

(function () {
	window.location = 'http://www.google.com/';
})();
