How to Disable Greasemonkey for Facebook

Greasemonkey scripts can change how Facebook looks in Firefox.

Greasemonkey is a plugin for Mozilla's Firefox web browser that allows users to install scripts, or JavaScript files, that can overwrite the default functions of a website. Because of their connection to Greasemonkey, these scripts are sometimes erroneously referred to as "script monkeys." Installing a Facebook script can add additional functionality to the Facebook website, rearrange its layout or add a theme to customize its design. Whatever the case, these scripts can be easily uninstalled from the Firefox Greasemonkey menu.

Tips & Warnings

• Given that there are hundreds of Facebook Greasemonkey scripts available for Firefox, it is impossible to note exactly which script is installed on your computer. In most cases, the script will have the word "Facebook" in its title, but if it does not, you can use trial and error to figure out which one you need to remove by clicking the "Disable" button and refreshing Facebook to see if disabling that script returns your Facebook account to its default format.
