Firefox Add-Ons

GreaseMonkey

GreaseMonkey is a Firefox add-on that allows custom JavaScripts to get run when viewing the pages on (particular) sites. Writing and testing a javascript with GreaseMonkey may be a convenient way to test out an idea before making a full-fledged standalone Firefox add-on.
