That said you "should" be able to get any of the non-updated extensions to work with 3.0 using one of two methods :
Method 1 : Download the "nightly tester tools". This is what the beta testers of Firefox use to get extensions working. (Greasemonkey is listed as one of the extensions this works with)

* Restart Firefox.
I've used both methods in the past, both worked for me. I have NOT tested either with the final release version of 3.0. I have no intention of updating for at least two weeks. I gave up on constantly having the "newest bleeding edge" version several builds ago.
***EDIT:
Also, if you are going to install the new version, this is pretty handy.
Install FEBE in version 2.x, and use it before installing the new version.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2109Basically it allows you to backup all your extensions, themes, bookmarks, cookies, and virtually everything else. Then you can easily (using FEBE in 3.0) restore everything. It's very simple and works well.

Firefox 3.0 dramatically changed the way most browser related items (bookmarks, history, cookies, etc.) are stored. While FEBE will install on Fx 3.0b2, it will not be able to backup/restore these items individually. Extension, theme, and full profile backup/restore functionality should still work. FEBE 6.0 (scheduled for release summer, 2008) will address all the Fx 3.0 issues.
