I would highly suggest viewing this article regarding how to create your own .user.js file and then installing it with greasemonkey, http://greasemonkey.mozdev.org/authoring.html Hope that helps!

This is very nice, thanks. But is there a way to avoid the download of jquery everytime? I tried a local URL (eg /home/otto/jquery.js) and it doesn't work. That "lag" is a bit boring and requires internet access. Thank you. Hi. This is very nice, thanks.

You can instead just specify any files you want to get included in the metadata e.g. // @require http://jqueryjs.googlecode.com/files/jquery-1.3.2.js which will execute that file just before your script runs. There's a bit of a big hole in GM though as if you use the "New User Script" option in menu then this doesn't work at all - GM only imports anything referenced by @require the first time you install the script, and the "New User Script" option creates and installs a default user script for you, so even if you add the @require it fails. It's not much harder to create a .user.js file manually and browse to it... took me ages to find out I needed to though!
