Ooh! I got it to work! … Or rather, I found a code update that makes GPE work with the new version of Google Reader. Here you go! http://userscripts.org/topics/18585

Hi Valerie – Sometimes when I’m really tired I just sit here and mindlessly click around the internet and the same things I’ve been looking at all day. I try to stop the clicking and actually get up and go to bed or something ;-)

It’s fine – I’m not noticing much a difference actually. I suppose if I start playing with HTML 5 I’ll like it better. I was completely confused about the clearing cache feature being under Clear Recent History. Browser history has meant something completely different to me for quite some time.

And it hasn’t crashed at all – but then I very rarely have problems with FF.

Hi Adrenalynn – That sounds like a good one!! I love greasemonkey scripts – I have flickr so customized with scripts that I forget that the features I have aren’t available to everyone. It’s too bad that the script stopped working – maybe the author will update it.

A while back I installed a greasemonkey script called GPE that enables you to view the actual article in a frame within your Google Reader. It was AWESOME. That way, I could view the article, comments etc. directly from my reader without having to open another window or tab- and it also counted as a pageview on the site. Anyway, it stopped working, either when Google changed the reader or with FF updates, and I'm sad. Especially now that you've crushed my dream of ever finding a Reader add-on that works. Aargh.

Darn it. Will keep an eye on it. How are you liking FF 3.5? I'm finding it quick and stable. I have a dual screen setup and do my Gmail, calendar, docs in Chrome on one screen, and browse the web in FF on the other screen. Rick Castellini´s last blog post - Email of the Week - 009

Hi Dot – Thanks! You can’t add a comment from it and it’s buggy but it’s still a cool add-on. It isn’t currently available with Firefox 3.5, which was released yesterday.

Hi Stratos – I sort of remember it – I’ll have to look it up. This is far from a perfect plugin but could also be very useful. One problem I have with it is how small the comments and tweets section is – my poor old eyes ;-)
