Facebook addons and plugins
Intro to addons and plugins
Hi! Today over 200 millions of people use Facebook every day. If you are here then most likely you are one of them.
It's not hard to see that the way Facebook looks today and it's functionality, usability and design is crappy,
and surely can't satisfy even 70% of the people that use it.
Spammy-looking complicated facebook layout, badly smiley-parsing facebook chat, and stuff..
Of course, it's not as badly designed as MySpace, but.. I hate the design of them both. :\ Maybe this site
isn't the one to complain, but I've seen whole lot better ones for sure..
Here are some plugins you can install to make your facebook time more comfortable.
Recommended addons and plugins
Chat emoticons and smileys - Facemoods
Add-on that extends your facebook chat with animated smileys. Try out - it's free and you may like it. Small problem is that your friends who haven't got this addon installed won't be able to see what you're sending to them. So you'll have to refer them aswell. ..give them the link to fsymbols, or something.

Firefox script plugins/addons for facebook
A lot of facebook plugins listed below don't work, but as I suggest that facebook is a crap, I don't really use facebook a lot, and so I didn't test all of them. Just the part. And I didn't research that stuff a lot. So if you'll find some facebook plugins listed here not working, or if you'll find some more handy facebook scripts, or addons - EMAIL ME (you can find my mail in the bottom of the page), please. And I'll most likely delete them from the list (in the first case), or post them here (in the second case). Enjoy =)

- Install GreaseMonkey add-on.
- Get on some script's page.
