Thanks, that's great. My Japanese is severely lacking unfortunately.
Your code appears to be very close to what I'm intending to do. I don't
want to remove stuff from pages, rather I want to insert. Specifically,
I want to insert Greasemonkey (-> http://greasemonkey.mozdev.org/)
scripts in the hope of using them with browsers other than
Mozilla/Firefox.
