That's because the webapps integration uses the old unsafe method of
exposing privileged objects to content. We discussed a couple of weeks
ago about just removing this functionality from the webapps addon, given
that it no longer works, the addon needs re-writing for e10s and webapps
are opened in a dedicated container app now

Title:
  with greasemonkey in firefox 36, "Error: Exposing privileged or cross-
  origin callable is prohibited"

Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I use a variety of greasemonkey scripts in firefox.  After accepting
  today's update to firefox 36 from firefox 34, one of these scripts is
  now failing with the following message on the browser console:

  Error: Exposing privileged or cross-origin callable is prohibited

  This appears to halt the script.

  There is no other information given as to the cause of this error, and
  the line number given is out of range for the source url.

  Googling for this error message turns up some results, but none that
  reference greasemonkey, and with nothing that would indicate how to
  fix the problem.
