You know what’s annoying? Looking at a page of images and then clicking the “next” button. Waiting for that page to load, and then clicking “next” again. Repeating the process 500 times.

My favoritey-est thing about using Firefox as my browser is that there are lots of useful add-ons you can enjoy. One of the best is Greasemonkey. Once you install Greasemonkey, you can install these nifty little things called userscripts. (If you’re super-nerdy, you can even build your own.) These little scripts can potentially awesome-ize your web experience in a bunch of cool ways.

For instance, since I’ve grabbed AutoPagerize, I no longer have to deal with clicking “next” a million times to find what I want. I just scroll and scroll and scroll to my heart’s content. The page automatically expands with new content to meet my ever-growing informational appetite. It works on Flickr, on Twitter, and on most other sites that require clicking “next,” “next,” “next next next next next….argggggh.”

Here’s the low-down:

  1. Install Greasemonkey
  2. Restart Firefox
  3. Install AutoPagerize
  4. Look for a little monkey head on the verrry bottom right hand corner of your browser
  5. Click on the monkey head to activate it if it’s greyed-out
  6. Go do a flickr search or look at your Twitter stream to see the script in action

See? You don’t even need to be a super-geek to figure it out. Productivity for all.
