How do I change the Profile Picture bookmarks or other options?

Simply click on the "Account" link and click "Facebook Fixed Header Options". View the second screenshot above if you're having trouble finding it.

I share my computer with other people, and they use Facebook as well. Can we all have individual Profile Picture bookmarks/settings?

Yes! Settings are saved individually for each Facebook user.

X feature of the script broke!

Please let me know via the Discussions tab here on userscripts.
