The Greasemonkey [[sandbox]], with its use of [[XPCNativeWrappers]] guarantees the security of the advanced capabilities a user script has from the potentially malicious content page.
However, it does introduce a number of restrictions that can be difficult to understand.
Also, this security is guaranteed only if the script does not break the security model; dangerous tools like [[unsafeWindow]] are provided to authors in the rare case that it is the only possible method.

It's rare that [[unsafeWindow]] is the only method, however.
These pages detail a variety of approaches that can make it easier to interact with the content page, when Greasemonkey's security model might otherwise get in the way, without compromising security.
