Greasemonkey scripts are the best things about Firefox. These scripts make Firefox experience a  loving one and also they give you limitless tweaking and styling properties. But when you install your script unlike Firefox extensions it never checks for updates. Here is a nice Greasemonkey script which checks the update of other Greasemonkey scripts. This makes sure that you stay in touch with the updates of all GM scripts and saves you loads of time which you will spend looking for the updates.

Auto Login to Live Mail Using Firefox

Posted by Joel 30 June, 2009 (0) Comment

live autologin

Whenever you click the new mail icon of the live messenger, you are sent to the live mail login page in whatever browser is the default in your PC, so if IE is your default browser then no problem, but most people including me prefer Firefox. Well in that case you will have to (unfortunately) manually login to your email account.

Until now there is no work around for this, but using the following GreaseMonkey script, you can login to your live mail. You have to give your username and password to this script and will automatically log you in. One major drawback is that all your security data is exposed to anyone who visits the live mail site from the specific pc, since this script automatically logs anyone who visits the live mail site.

FYI: There is an alternate more secure method HERE, choose whatever you like.

Before you install this script make sure you have the Firefox add-on GreaseMonkey

Use this script ONLY if you have your own PC with a Password protected account.

This method shows you how to stop the video from being played automatically so it will buffer the video only. This is also convenient for people who open multiple videos on YouTube at once as well as you don’t have to pause each and every video manually. Greasemonkey should be installed on Firefox for this to work.

How to install the script:
