Znerp-
Major kudos for an AMAZING app, this concept is fantastic.

My only remaining problem is my inexperience. I love the concept of User Scripts, (especially this one) but am clueless as to how to use it. I have downloaded Firefox, Greasemonkey, and Friends Checker. But when I open Greasemonkey, all fields remain blank, and I do not see FC (or anything for that matter) anywhere.

Am I missing some basic piece of modern tech knowledge? Is there hope for me yet?

Thanks for bearing with me. I could not find a tutorial basic enough to sink to my level of newb incompetence.

I'll take you through this;

Install the Firefox browser.
Install the Greasemonkey add-on.
Restart Firefox. A small monkey symbol should show in the bottom right of the browser window.
Visit the script homepage and click the install button in the top right of the page.
A window will appear and an install button will become active. Click that.
A confirmation should appear by the small monkey saying that the script was installed.
Middle click (or right click, then "Manage User Scripts...") the small monkey.
If "Facebook Friends Checker" appears in the list on the right of this window then it has installed fine.
Now carry on browsing Facebook as usual and at some point you may be prompted that someone has removed you.

Hope this helps.
