Sep 17, 2009 9:34pm mike weseloh User	Hello All, I was wondering where this script stores the list of friends. I'm asking because for years I've had my browsers set to delete all cookies and cache on exit, soooo if it stores the list in the cache ... then at least on my system it's getting wiped out all the time. Also I assume it accounts for multiple facebook users on the same browser as well, correct. Sorry if these are basic questions and covered somewhere .. just point me in the right direction if they are. Thanks!

The friends list gets saved in `about:config`; type that into your address bar and it will show a lot of your Firefox config settings. If you then filter that list for `znerp` you should see a setting under the name `greasemonkey.scriptvals.znerp/Facebook Friends Checker.<<your profile ID>> friends`, which will be a list of your friend's Facebook IDs. If you're paying attention then this will also answer your other question; any other Facebook user who's used your browser may have their friends stored there also in a separate line with their friend ID in the name.

What are typical values for the string literals? Here is what mine are after a fresh install of both Greasemonkey and Friends Checker: greasemonkey.scriptvals.znerp/Facebook Friends Checker.620880000 ex friends; ({}) greasemonkey.scriptvals.znerp/Facebook Friends Checker.620880000 friends; ({}) Should these be changed to pathnames or is "({})" a shorthand notation for values defined elsewhere?

And after you're logged into Facebook if you visit this link - http://www.facebook.com/ajax/typeahead_search.php - does there appear to be a list of your friends there? Also, I've not checked it's valid but you may not be aware that you appear to have included your Facebook ID in your post. There is an edit link under your name in the post if you wish to edit/remove that.

Is it a problem if the script runs both on my laptop and and my home server? http://www.facebook.com/ajax/typeahead_search.php shows a blank page (0 bytes returned)
