My first questions is: is the page that contains the information you want the same as the one you are writing the script for or are you scraping information off a remote page using XHR? If you are on the page you want to get information from, regex is definitely not the way to go.

Open a new tab, put in <code>about:config</code>, hit enter. That's the config page. There is a text field below the address bar you just typed in, that's the filter bar. That's where you put <code>greasemonkey.editor</code> (don't need to hit enter). It should show only one entry and you can follow the instructions from above.

Hi... Probably many of us realized that the Google account is now Linked to the YouTube account. This means that IF i'm using google account X (my homepage for my browser is google.com/ig ) i will also have the youtube account X. BUT what happens if my account X on YouTube is permanently disabled? I can't log in into YouTube with another New account Y, IF i'm using the account X for everything else on Google. So... if i'm logged in with account X, when i click the Sign IN link on YouTube... it automatically redirects me and says that my account is permanently disabled. Can you create a script that can log me into YouTube using the google account named Y... but keeps my signed into Google using the account named X? (so... google.com/ig will show that i'm user X. Youtube will confirm that i'm user Y) Hi... Probably many of us realized that the Google account is now Linked to the YouTube account.
