I want to make a greasemonkey type script for firefox that runs before the scripts on the page. Greasemonkey scripts run after scripts on the page, so that won't work. The reason I need this is because I want to edit one of the scripts on the page. Specifically, I want to delete a script that forces the page to load inside a frame since having the page inside a frame breaks F5 (Pressing F5 makes the page jump back to the front page instead of reloading the current page). Also, I don't want to load the page through a proxy with AJAX and switching to chrome/opera is not an option either. I was thinking maybe the Jetpack add-on would work but it seems to only have the same event that greasemonkey uses, DOMContentLoaded. Any ideas?

Right, only newer Firefox builds (currently 3.7 nighlies, may later be added to 3.6.x) have support for running custom scripts before content-specified scripts. I wrote a prototype Jetpack-SDK module to take advantage of the new notification.

Is it a <script src> or an inline script? In the former case it can be blocked with a content policy (something adblock-like).

Interesting. I'll see if I can figure out how to get it to work. The script is an inline script.
