Most of the time, when you click a link on Facebook, the content of the new page will be fetched and then displayed on the current page, with the new URL being tacked on to the old one like so:
/home.php#/profile.php?id=725831319
This speeds up the loading of pages but makes URLs look ugly and often breaks user scripts!
Facebook URL Cleaner makes links work the way you expect them to. It may make loading pages a little slower, but it will allow your user scripts to work throughout the site.
(Because people often like to zoom through photo galleries, this script is disabled when browsing through them. To enable the script on photo pages, change the variable enableInGalleries to true.)
