Hi, This is my first post here and I did try searching for this in the archives. Please be gentle.
I believe jQuery's :nth-child selector doesn't work inside GreaseMonkey 0.8. (At the bottom is a quick GM script to test this.) Why is this? Is this a known limitation from working inside GreaseMonkey? Can anyone recommend a way around this? Also, why is it that _some_ (definitely not all) jQuery queries run *much* slower inside GreaseMonkey, I don't have a quick benchmark test right now, but I've noticed it often as I was building a pretty complex GM script that relied heavily in GM, http://elzr.com/posts/backbars-on-social-link-sites. I would run my code outside GM, in Firebug, and things would be snappy, inside GM, the browser was brought to its knees. I know I'm being vague but I was wondering if there are some architectural reasons in GM or jQuery why this would be the case.
