Unless I'm horribly mistaken, GM still runs inside the javascript security
context of the page it starts on. It's a severe security issue. Even being
able to read window.location could give a script access to information it
shouldn't have.
See "I can not access the properties of the new secondary window. I always
get an error in the javascript console saying "Error: uncaught exception:
Permission denied to get property <property_name or method_name>. Why is that?"
