GM_setValue (http://wiki.greasespot.net/GM_setValue) only stores:
strings, booleans, and integers (a limitation of using Firefox
preferences for storage).

Parameters:
varName
String: The unique (within this script) name for this value.
Should be restricted to valid Javascript identifier characters.
varValue
Any valid javascript value. Just note that it is not advisable to
store too much data in the Firefox preferences.
Returns:

This function extends that to allow retrieving any data type -- as

Parameters:
varName
String: The property name to get. See GM_SuperValue.set for details.
defaultValue
Optional. Any value to be returned, when no value has previously
been set.
Returns:
When this name has been set...
The variable or function value as previously set.
When this name has not been set, and a default is provided...
The value passed in as a default
When this name has not been set, and default is not provided...
