Aug 12, 2007 9:14pm Tom W.M. Script's Author	Another update! Now it detects the reset password page and doesn't attempt to login there.

Aug 12, 2007 9:04pm Tom W.M. Script's Author	NEW RELEASEAddition: many new `@include` URLs. The script is now active on the Facebook homepage and on HTTPS pages. Addition: Experimental support for detecting failed logins. This is still experimental because I am unable to test it; apparently there's a limit to the number of failed login attempts Facebook will permit before you have to reset your password, and resetting your password doesn't reset the attempt counter.

Aug 3, 2007 6:54pm Alan Hogan Scriptwright	Wow at first I thought this was a rip-off of my Facebook Autologin script (http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/4044) but nope, it's just different code to do the same thing. :)

Aug 1, 2007 12:41am lenzola User	Update: Sorry, it works again, I uninstalled the script, reinstalled it, and it's working fine. Thanks much!

Aug 1, 2007 12:36am lenzola User	Is anyone else having trouble with this today? As of this morning, this script simply doesn't work. Facebook has apparently doing maintenance or upgrades - for the last day or so there have been periods where certain parts of the site aren't available. Have they perhaps changed something about the login? Love this script, by the way.

Jul 31, 2007 10:01pm Tom W.M. Script's Author	I suggest that you disable Greasemonkey and try logging in normally. Only re-enable Greasemonkey (and this script) once you are able to log in--this script does not detect when a login fails, which can trigger an endless loop if Firefox is set to remember bad login info.

Jul 15, 2007 5:49pm choux User	Hi. I registered for an account with facebook, using my gmail account. I used firefox to remember the username and password. They were in the box and ready to use. I clicked on login. A message came up (several times) that the username or password was mistaken, to check the caplock key as it was case sensitive. Any suggestions? Thank you.
