Right, in Firefox 1.5 beta 2, Greasemonkey 0.62, Mac OS X.4.2, with  
all other extensions disabled and all other scripts disabled, this  
script:

------------------------

// ==UserScript==
// @name           test
// @namespace      http://www.example.com
// @description    test
// @include        http://*
// ==/UserScript==

GM_log('hello');

------------------------

produces a "Component is not available" error on
http://www.google.com
http://www.amazon.com
http://del.icio.us
http://flickr.com/
http://my.yahoo.com/
http://www.cnn.com/
http://macupdate.com/

but not on
http://mozdev.org
http://www.firefox.com
http://dev.upian.com/hotlinks/
http://mat.subsume.com/

I have no idea what the difference is between the sites that work and  
the sites that don't. Also, some sites will produce the error, but  
the embedded ads won't.
