[tlug] [OT] transition firefox greasemonkey scripts to google chrome extensions

[Christian Horn <chorn@example.com>]

Hi all,


someone with experiences on $topic?

I like quite some aspects of chrome over firefox3/4, but would like
to keep using the functionality of some Greasemonkey scripts on firefox.
These were not written by me, they are modifying intranet pages.  A 
number is aquired from the page, other content on the intranet is looked 
up and presented inside of the first page.

Chrome does not require an addon like Greasemonkey, it can natively run
'extensions'.  Yet there is apparently no compatibility layer for 
firefox scripts.  I spent some hours yesterday, but did not even see 
simple examples modifying content of webpages, like changing words.

Has someone done this?
Maybe even discovered a firefox compatibility layer in some corner
of the internet?
