<< NOTE: My school disabled access via HTTPS and this never was great setup to begin with. Won't be updating any more since I have no way to test changes now I'm out of high school. Feel free to use this script but know it won't be updated any more. Sorry. >>

V 1.5
This version fixes the issue w/ links that send you to http://facebook.com instead of http://www.facebook.com. Enjoy!

V 1.1
This version does a few quick fixes that the older versions did not. The main thing that is changed is that images that were changed to referring to https://www.facebook.com/images/... were moved back to looking at the http:// version (since the images are not stored on the https:// protocol in general). This makes the images actually load IF the images on facebook.com are not blocked but from my experience that won't happen which means the images will still not work. I am working on developing a few ideas that may be able to fix the issue in the future but will take a number of hours to figure out exactly how to do it. Keep and eye on this script's discussion page for any updates I may have on the progress.
