Alas, this isn't working for me. I'm still seeing a lot of quizzes, even though they appear to match your query string. Case in point, I'm currently seeing the following with the script enabled: "Dani just took the "What Rank are you in the army" quiz and the result is Colonel. Almost Perfect I could not ask for a better Colonel to serve under me
GRRR... is there no script on this site that actually works in hiding quizzes? I would pay money for this! |

Hi Brandobean, thanks for trying this script! Can you help me by pasting any "Error" type messages from your Firefox's Error Console in this discussion when the Facebook home page loads ? Also, can you tell me what other scripts are you running on facebook.com & what Firefox/Greasemonkey versions are you using now ? I had been testing it on my Firefox(3.0.8)/Greasemonkey(0.8.20090123.1) for the past week & it was ok. Maybe it's something i missed, i'll try to fix it with more info :) |

I will let you know for sure what I see, but in the meantime I'm running: FF 3.0.8, w/ Greasemonkey 0.8.20090123.1 on Windows Vista 64-bit. (not running FF 64-bit though as it's still beta and known to break most plug-ins) |

Hi Brandobean, Maybe you can try using the previous version which also does the same thing: |

Got it to repro. Take a gander here where you can see the quiz still showing. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3624/3471393296_... There is also some script or plugin that is causing FB to slow down a LOT while I use it in Firefox. Doesn't seem to happen on any other website though. Yours is the only Greasemonkey script I'm running on that site. Any ideas? |

Hi Brandobean, I really like to help you but i think the error's coming from another installed add-on instead of this greasemonkey script or greasemonkey add-on. The error's coming from an add-on script called "gadrm.js" (chrome://gadrm/content/gadrm.js). Do you have an add-on that's named like "gadrm" ? I've tried to google what add-on or plugin "gadrm.js" or "GadrmGeneralWrapper" might belong to but there's not much info except for this thread http://www.nabble.com/GadrmGeneralWrapper-is-no... which says something about some google ads being blocked & causing an object called GadrmGeneralWrapper to be undefined & the author disabled his ad blocker & his script worked. I think there's nothing much I can do at this point. If you really like to, you can disable all your add-ons except Greasemonkey to see if this script works, then enable your add-ons one by one to see which one is failing. Or, you can install greasemonkey & this script on a new & bare firefox installation on another computer & login to your facebook to see if it really works... :( |

That add on was "Ad-Blocker" which purports to block most ads. For some reason, it seemed to be interfering with your script. No idea why. I disabled it and now it appears to be hiding quizzes as far as I can tell. Hmmm. I like the ad block features though... I wonder if I can make an exclusion for Facebook and see if your script works then. Good to know! |

Hmm I use Adblock Plus... Glad that it's resolved. Hope my script's of use to you! :) |

Hmmm, it's not that simple, as it's not working again and I am no longer running ad Blocker. I'm not running adblock plus either. I DID however, upgrade to Firefox 3.0.10 as a recommended auto-upgrade this morning. There's also a chance FB changed something under the hood. Take a look at my error console which is now going nuts. It's here: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3388/3502712910_... |

The script's working fine over my side so far. I'll update it if there're any bugs reported or if it's broken by any new Facebook changes. |

I've attached two more screenshots of my error console:
Any ideas? I simply can't recommend this script if it doesn't work. I literally have 20-25 friends all counting on my to empower them to remove quizzes from their feeds. I'm the resident dork! Thanks for your work. |

Ah ha! I had updated my script a week ago to correct the "invalid assignment left-hand side" error. Please install the latest script (1.0.4) & tell me if it's ok. :) |
