Greasemonkey @require jQuery not working “Component not available”

Question

I\'ve seen the other question on here about loading jQuery in a Greasemonkey. Having tried that method, with this require statement inside my ==UserScript== tag

Answer 1

The @require attribute doesn't work correctly in Greasemonkey and jQuery...this same error can occur in FireBug as well.

An alternative is to include jQuery in the page via Greasemonkey by creating the script tag. Here's how to do that.
