For the record, the newest Greasemonkey versions should now provide a much better alternative to this.

See http://wiki.greasespot.net/Metadata_block#.40require for an example of how to efficiently load jQuery from the Google AJAX API (a free content distribution network they run in the hopes that people will write more Google widgets) at userscript install time via the @require metadata key.

Just thought I’d mention - there’s nothing special about $ being bound jQuery, it could be bound to anything.

Try this to check : typeof(jQuery) === ‘function’

A quick check for jQuery already existing would be to check the typeof $

So:
var jQueryExists = ( ( typeof $ )==”function” );

Here’s a plugin I should have included, makes it easy to use Firebug profile with jQuery:

I find it much easier to check if a site is using jquery by running alert($); in the firebug console, you don’t have to sort through all of their included files that way.

I also use firebug console as my quick and dirty greasemonkey replacement.
