Yep, right in plain view. Turns out Noscript hides that tiny area, from "Click the Green..." to/including "Alternatively..."

So far it doesn't seem any faster. In fact, my browser crashed. First time it has on FB.

Crashing sounds perfectly normal with all your previous experiments. You need to uninstall everything related to Greasemonkey and FBP. Remove all GM/FBP versions, restart PM, go to about:config, type extensions.greasemonkey

If there's anything in bold, right-click/Reset it and close PM. With PM closed, delete the gm_scripts folder inside your profile (it will delete any GM scripts).

Start PM, then install this version (currently 3.31.4). Finally, install the FBP script. Oh, and try disabling/uninstalling NoScript too - might as well causing the crashes (see here).

The only thing I did was install the FBP addon. And uninstalled it before adding GM. Before that, it's a new, fresh install.
Tried FB again with no crashes. Maybe it was just a fluke. If it continues, I'll try your suggestions. Thanks.
