You will Need:

1. Mozilla Firefox (download from below)
2. Greasemonkey

1.1 Getting Mozilla Firefox

What you have to do is install a Browser same as Microsoft’s Internet Explorer but much better than it (as per my testings). The name is Firefox, Mozilla Firefox…
Click Here to get FireFox.

1.2 What is Greasemonkey?

Greasemonkey is a Firefox extension that allows you to write scripts that alter the web pages you visit. You can use it to make a web site more readable or more usable. You can fix rendering bugs that the site owner can’t be bothered to fix themselves. You can alter pages so they work better with assistive technologies that speak a web page out loud or convert it to Braille. You can even automatically retrieve data from other sites to make two sites more interconnected.

Greasemonkey by itself does none of these things. In fact, after you install it, you won’t notice any change at all… until you start installing what are called “user scripts”. A user script is just a chunk of Javascript code, with some additional information that tells Greasemonkey where and when it should be run. Each user script can target a specific page, a specific site, or a group of sites. A user script can do anything you can do in Javascript. In fact, it can do even more than that, because Greasemonkey provides special functions that are only available to user scripts.

1.3 Installing Greasemonkey

To start using user scripts, you first need to install the Greasemonkey browser extension.

Procedure: Install the Greasemonkey Extension

1. Visit the Greasemonkey Firefox Addon Page.

2. Click the link titled “Install Now”.

3. Firefox will indicate (probably at the top of your browser window) that it prevented the site from installing software. Click Edit options… to bring up the “Allowed Sites” dialog, then click Allow to add the Greasemonkey site to your list of sites that are allowed to install software. Click OK to close the “Allowed Sites” dialog.

4. Once again, click the link titled “Install Greasemonkey”.

5. Now an install dialog should pop up to confirm that you really want to install. Wait a few seconds for the install button to enable, then click Install now.

6. Restart your browser.

By default, installing Greasemonkey does not add any functionality to your browser. All it does is enable you to install additional items, called “user scripts”, which customize specific web pages.

1.4 Installing New Scripts

Well, though it’s easy to install a new script, still I thought that this column is a necessity. There are two easy methods to install a GM script. I’ll be stating all of them with some screen shots, so that you can understand them better.

Method 1

This one is the direct method. Normally I use this one in my blog and prefer that you too use it, but only if you trust your source. You must be online to use this method.

What You Have to Do:

1. Before Beginning please make sure that GM is active and running. If GM is inactive first make it active by single clicking on the Monkey.

2. Now first see this screen shot of one of the Orkut Addons! script and notice the Status Bar. It shows something like this “http://userscripts.org/scripts/source/9953.user.js”. This is when you can use this method! This link is the direct link to the 9953 User Script on www.userscripts.org.

3. When you click this link, an installation window will appear to confirm that you want to install the script or not.

4. Just Hit Install and you are done. If you face any error please refer GM Errors Post.

P.S. : Use this method only when you trust the source, otherwise you cookies can be leaked too!

Method 2

This method stores the GM script first on your Hard Disk and then you install it at your own convenience, and it doesn’t matter that you are online or offline.

What You Have to Do:

1. When you notice “http://userscripts.org/scripts/source/9953.user.js” in you status bar, this means that if you click this link, you’ll be installing the userscript number 9953. This is well explained in Method 1.

2. Now, for some reason, you don’t want to install the script now and first download it and then install it at a later stage. What would you do? Simple. Just follow this method.

3. Do a right click on the script link as in here. Then click on “Save Link as…”. A dialog box will appear, asking you where to save the file. Let us suppose that you save the script on your Desktop with the file name as 9953.

4. After downloading the script, just follow this instruction to open a file in Firefox (make sure that GM is active). Locate the file 9953 (as we assumed) on your Desktop (as we assumed) through the Dialog Box, and select it. Now press “Open”.

5. Now you’ll see something like this in your browser. Press “Install” and you are done. If you face any error please refer GM Errors Post.

P.S. : This method is somewhat similar to the above one with the only exception being that you can save the script for your later use in case the owner of the script deletes it.
