Customize the appearance and behavior of popular websites
Greasemonkey allows you to customize the way popular websites look and behave by tweaking their functionality with a script.
In fact Greasemonkey is not an application in itself. It’s a Firefox add-on that prepares your browser to support Greasemonkey scripts. The add-on puts a small monkey icon in the bottom right corner, from where you can add new scripts and manage the ones you’ve already installed. Other than that, it doesn’t include any configuration options.
The first time you launch Greasemonkey you’re presented with an introductory website which contains basic information and a link to Userscripts, where you can download scripts. Be sure to bookmark this site, as Greasemonkey doesn’t include a link to it anywhere.
Of course, you can also create your own scripts and use them with Greasemonkey – but that requires coding knowledge.
With Greasemonkey you can use hundreds of scripts to change the way popular websites look and behave.
Enhancements:Script updates install automatically. (#1442)In 0.9.12 we added update checking. In 0.9.13 updates install automatically, but there's still some discussion over how to handle this best (#1455), so checking is still not enabled by default. We hope to figure this out by the 0.9.14 release. Some other update related work was done, mostly to make Firefox 3 work better. (#1421, #1422, #1423)Provide an Options item in the Monkey Menu. (#1447)Add a Cancel button to the Options window. (#1454)Bug fixes:GM_getResourceText() was broken. (#1438)You can properly select an application (bundle) for the editor on Mac OS X. (#1439)Fix GM_openInTab() for Firefox 3. (#1444)Fix when pages reassign the location during page load. (#1445)

very poorly operated..
I think you have very poorly trained personal. The shop was empty and I waited to get in for about five minutes, I left, but I came back the next day, the shop empty and I waited about a minute before the door opened. I sat and watched the do their work but I reminded them to check the air pressures and they claim they vacuumed the car witch I did not see from were I was sitting. After they finished with y car I had to go to a car wash because the windows were dirtier than the were when I came in. I will not return to that store. I do not know what happened I used to take all my cars their (3). It was store #208

SUCCESS!!!.
Hi everyone - I just got rid of that huge, annoying sidebar on Google
which takes up a third of your screen. I'm back to normal.
Here's all you do if you have Firefox: download greasemonkey
first: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748/THEN go here and simply click "install":http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/76060Bingo! That's it! - Google works like it did before they (who knows
why?) added that god-awful sidebar.- Ken More

An Add-on That Can Add Features To Websites.
Greasemonkey can add added featues to your favorite sites through the use of scripts. There is pretty much a script for any site your looking for if you search the web. Some scripts simply remove ads from that one site or fix bugs the site has. It's useful for those who know how to use the scriptsThe downsides to Greasemonkey are the fact Greasemonkey is a security risk in itself, hackers ca send malicious code into Firefox using Greasemonkey. Another downside is the fact the scripts aren't hosted by or tested by Mozilla, their instead on a third party site and any user can upload a script including those who upload malware.I don't recommend Greasemonkey to most due to the security issues and the fact JetPack is being integrated into Firefox 4 and it does a lot of what Greasemonkey does but a lot of JetPacks scripts are hosted on Mozilla's site and JetPack is more secure than Greasemonkey.So if you want an add-on that you can use scripts to make your surfing experience on websites better, try JetPack before moving onto Greasemonkey.
Pros:
Using Scripts Can Make Sites Work The Way You Like
Doesn't Require A Reboot To Use The Scripts
Free
Cons:
Hackers Infect Firefox Using Malicious Code Through Greasemonkey
Scipts Aren't Hosted On A Mozilla Site So Malware Can Be Uploaded By Users
JetPack Is Similar To Greasemonkey But A Lot Of Their Scripts Are Hosted On Mozilla.
