DATmafia, thanks for the comments on this old post. I wrote the script and it is still one of the first things that I install when setting up a new Firefox install.
Everyone should take caution when using the web.

This is a useful script and I’m sure works great. However, given the fact that GreaseMonkey is an attack surface for basic Firefox who load tons of trendy add-ons. I tell everyone to stay away from Grease Monkey, just not worth risking a 0day exploit due to a malicious or badly written script. So, my advice, avoid GreaseMonkey unless you can review the code yourself and ensure there’s nothing that could be used to compromise security. Social engineering using simple sites like this is and other “official” forums and comments sections is extremely common. I’m sure the author of this script doesn’t have any bad intentions and wants as many people as he can to use this script. But, now that it’s two and a half years without an update I would be very VERY sceptical of using this script now-a-days.

Yes, it should work for any site.

I just listened to SN 119, and as soon as they mentioned “someone will probably make a greasemonky script,” I did the search, found this, tested it, and it seems to work.

This works for any site, correct?
