zombe: Here's a (

After Greasemonkey is installed and you've restarted Firefox, download that zip file, extract the script, drag it onto a Firefox window, and install it.
If you drag it direct from your zip file manager, Firefox might not like it (seems that way for me, at least), so I'd suggest unzipping it to your desktop or some such, and dragging it from there. You can delete that copy once it's installed.

edit 1: Added the bold text back.
edit 2: Got rid of an extraneous initial attempt that was still sitting in the script. It should now run unnoticeably faster :)

I'm a long time Greasemonkey user ;) => Script already made (shortly after i hinted that i have to do that).
Thanks for your time anyway :)

Your post contains the primary reason why i do not use Platypus - the scipts it generates are excessive and quite slow compared to what i can write on my own. Also, i found that it is EASIER to make a script on my own instead of getting Platypus to do that x_x (its UI is quite confusing).
(Out of curiosity checked the generated script - just to see whether Platypus has improved from when i last used it. Lots of dead code, but not bad [not good either].)

Argh, I'm a moron. I completely missed that. (Or maybe I didn't
completely miss it, and that's what made me think of doing it in the first place?) Ah well.

Pleasure.

If you know enough about Firefox, Javascript, and Greasemonkey that you can write your own scripts easily, then I absolutely believe you. That's almost always going to be the case for this kind of tool. I've never written a Greasemonkey script, but using Platypus enabled me to do nothing more than write a regexp replacement, and then manually tweak the element id to apply it to. For me, than was a
lot easier than trying to do it from scratch. The final end-result may be kinda trivial, but that's not the case if you don't already know the trivial approach to take :) That's why I think Platypus is great.

Funny, I was just thinking this morning that I hadn't checked to see if all those functions were actually being used, or if they were just some standard Platypus inclusions. Given that there was a big fat comment in there stating the latter, I'm starting to conclude that I really wasn't very awake when I did this :)
For the hell of it, I've actually looked at the code now, and done a little refactoring, the way I should have done originally (just in case anyone else was keen on using this)
