Since the nytimes got rid of timesselect this script is mostly outdated. Now I just use adblock plus with element hiding to accomplish the same result without so much processing.

Just copy the following text and save it as a text file and then import it into adblock plus:

This script is not for subscribers. It is too bad that the nytimes subscribers are still bombarded with ads even though they are paying for the service.

Nice work, but it removes necessary links when logged in. I am a subscriber to the crossword puzzle annually, but when this script is added to FF, it kills my ability to get to the links that launch the puzzle(s).
