Y!Q Uses Greasemonkey In Firefox
Yahoo’s search blog announces that they’ve added a Greasemonkey script for Firefox that lets you use Y!Q anywhere on any web page. Smartly, they’ve decided that instead of building a Firefox-specific Y!Q toolbar (as a counterpart to the IE version), to take advantage of Greasemonkey and save everyone the space.
This makes me realize that, in this day and age where many toolbars are more space-wasting than useful (since every browser has its own search box), browsers should build in Greasemonkey type-functionality. Isn’t it just more convenient to be able to install specific scripts to add specific features, with none of them cluttering up the base UI?
I’ve heard Opera has support for user scripts, though I haven’t looked into it.

Does it work for you in Firefox? For me not.
