// @name		Facebook - Friend Quick Remove
// @description		When adding friends on Facebook you quickly realize you have way to many friends that you don't really want anymore.  Unfortunatly you've added them all to a list and it requires 3 clicks to remove them.  This script enables you to remove a friend with one click.  It will add a new link to the right of the remove button if you click the "Quick Remove" button in the top left corner of the screen.
