NoScript (Score:2)

The NoScript [mozilla.org] extension disables Javascript, unless you specifically allow it, per domain. That does include Greasemonkey scripts.

I'm not entirely sure whether that's a good or a bad thing, though.

  NoScript is actually pretty nifty :) I installed it once the fuss about GM security broke. The whitelisting was a bit tedious, but it seems to work.
  
  I think the problem that was raised on the GM list was that it just allows (or disallows) Javascript. Malicious Javascript could be inserted into a page via some hackery and it would be allowed. This, at least, was the theory and so people were recommended not to use Noscript to cover up GM security flaws :)
