Makes a bigger picture popup when hovering the mouse over thumbnails of profile picture or photos, even if the person is not your friend. You can choose to have the bigger picture stay visible until you click the ‘x’ to close it or you can have it disappear when you move the mouse off of the small picture. You can also hold CTRL, SHIFT or ALT when putting the mouse over a picture to prevent the popup from appearing, or hold them when taking the mouse off a picture to keep the popup open. More customization options are available in the script’s configuration.

Provides a link to “show big pictures” which shows the full-size versions of pictures from albums, profile pictures and pictures in which a person was tagged.

Thumbnails for every image in an album can be loaded onto a single page. By default this is done when you click on the ‘all’ link, but it can also be done automatically by changing an option in the config popup.

Provides links on video pages to download the video (underneath the links for tagging/reporting the video). Facebook uses more than one format for videos - files with an FLV extension must be played using an FLV player. If the file doesn’t start downloading when you click ‘Download Video’, right click on the link and select ‘Save Link As’.

By default the homepage will look the same, however, you can use the script’s configuration to hide the filter column to the left of the feed, or the entire column to the right of the feed. Instead of hiding the entire right column, you can also hide the following sections independently: Highlights, Pokes, Suggestions, Connect With Friends.

Facebook Fixer will output text in the same language in which you are using Facebook, if the language is supported.

Select any text in Facebook and press T (shift + t) to translate it using Google Translate. This feature requires keyboard shortcuts to be enabled, and the translation language can be selected in the config screen.

Shows a person’s sign and age if they have made their birth date public. These options can be enabled/disabled separately.

Adds links on people’s profile to add their birthdays to Google Calendar. Also adds a link on the birthdays page (http://www.facebook.com/events.php?bday=1) that lets you export an iCalendar file with all of your friends’ birthdays. This file can be imported into many websites/programs including Google Calendar, Yahoo! Calendar, Mozilla Sunbird, Apple iCal, Microsoft Outlook and many more. (If you have a lot of friends it can take a while to generate this file.)

If you use Google Apps you can specify your domain in the scripts configuration so that the script can provide the right links for you.

Provides site navigation and access to Facebook features using keyboard shortcuts. For example press “P” to jump to your profile, or press “b” to see full-size pictures when viewing an album. A full list of shortcuts is available in Facebook Fixer’s configuration. If a shortcut is not working, try clicking anywhere on Facebook’s white background and trying the shortcut again.

Removes “Facebook |” from the title of every page. This makes it much easier to tell what pages are where when you have a lot of open tabs.

Automatically reloads application pages when errors occur and they show the standard Facebook error message.

You can adjust the transparency of the main menu bar (the one with the search field) and the bottom menu bar (the one with application bookmarks and buddy list). Both menus can be adjusted separately with 6 levels of transparency ranging from fully visible to completely hidden.

Automatically checks everyday to see if Facebook Fixer has been updated. You can also check for updates on demand in the scripts configuration.

Customization

Every feature listed above can be turned on and off independently in the scripts configuration. There are three ways to access the configuration popup:

• Put your mouse over Settings on any Facebook page - the last item in this popup should be Facebook Fixer
• If you have not disabled keyboard shortcuts you can type C (case sensitive - that’s a capital c)
• If you are using Greasemonkey/Firefox, you can use the Firefox menu: Tools > Greasemonkey > User Script Commands > Configure Facebook Fixer.

Customization must be done after you log in and the script will store separate preferences for separate Facebook accounts.

Localization

Facebook Fixer now supports outputting text in multiple languages. The script will detect the language in which you are using Facebook and will output text in the same language if it is supported. The currently supported languages are (contributors name in brackets):

• English
• French (Aelidnel)
• Spanish (Glen Farmer)
