I have been looking for an add-on for Firefox with this same functionality but have been unsuccessful. Anyone know of a plug-in like this?

(giving you the opportunity to overload page functions..) while in GreaseMonkey the script is always loaded afterwards..

Makes reformatting a pain. You can copy the whole %appdata% folder of Firefox to make it a similar installation.<br/><br/>Engtech - can you please explain what's wrong with this in firefox? It's working fine here. Maybe NoScript is blocking something? Ian - yea, Firefox (and Thunderbird) are annoying if you want to transfer files from one installation to the next.

With Firefox all the addons seem to have their own configuration, for instance NoScript's whitelist, that's another file you've got to remember to export and then take to the new PC. I have a bookmark list that allows me to quickly install all the Firefox addons I like but they are always unconfigured. I know you can do "Portable Firefox" but that's not always appropriate ... does anyone know an easy way to configure all one's addons, is there an addon to keep track of the addons!!!
