Hacks 1–12: Introduction

The first thing you need to do to get started with Greasemonkey is install it. Open Firefox and go to http://greasemonkey.mozdev.org. Click the Install Greasemonkey link. Firefox will warn you that it prevented this site from installing software, as shown in Figure 1-1.

Click the Edit Options button to bring up the Allowed Sites dialog, as shown in Figure 1-2.

Click the Allow button to add the Greasemonkey site to your list of allowed sites; then click OK to dismiss the dialog. Now, click the Install Greasemonkey link again, and Firefox will pop up the Software Installation dialog, as shown in Figure 1-3.

Click Install Now to begin the installation process. After it downloads, quit Firefox and relaunch it to finish installing Greasemonkey.

Now that that's out of the way, let's get right to it.

Install a User Script

Greasemonkey won't do anything until you start installing user scripts to customize specific web pages.

A Greasemonkey user script is a single file, written in JavaScript, that customizes one or more web pages. So, before Greasemonkey can start working for you, you need to install a user script.

Tip

Many user scripts are available at the Greasemo
