Greasemonkey in Firefox 3
While Greasemonkey, the popular extension for changing the way websites display, might not be currently available via the Firefox 3 addons manager or the Mozilla addons website, you can indeed install a working version from the developer's site. We installed the greasemonkey-0.8.20080609.0.xpi into Firefox 3 RC2 on Mac OS 10.5, and our scripts worked like a charm.In case you're new to the Greasemonkey realm, here are three scripts to get you going:
- Gmail 2.0 Multiple HTML Signatures - allows you to maintain a set of HTML signatures for Gmail that are automatically changed when you select different "From" addresses in your compose mail window. Alternatively, you could use a bookmarklet.
- Digg Add Mirrors - adds links to Coral Cache, Duggmirror, Duggback, and Google Cache to Digg stories.
- Image Host Redirector - redirects image links directly to image instead of intermediate image host page.

Don't forget the GMail Macros script, which adds more keyboard shortcuts for GMail. It will literally give you days of your life back.

Or, you know, you could have just installed Nightly Tester Tools like me and could have been using GM with Fx3 since the alpha days. ;) And there is a workaround for the official Mozilla site that I found, too, so that you can install non-compatible extensions now and force compatibility with NTT

What? How? I have several addons that FF3 won't allow.
