In June of last year, BlooInBloo created a firefox script for DU that goes along with the current DU toolbar. I've used it ever since, and have taken it for granted a bit. But after just remembering that it isn't standard, I had a renewed appreciation for the efforts to do it. I love it!
The jist of it is a script that puts a 'GD' icon and 'Lounge' icon at the end of the toolbar for instant access, and also causes the 'Search' function to immediately go to the 'Advanced Search' page. Not sure if there have been any other changes since, but that's how it works for me!
I dunno. I just LOVE the damn thing, and impulsively felt like not only giving huge props and thanks to BlooInBloo for doing it, but also giving so many DU'ers who may want it but may not have known it existed, the chance to check it out. So without further adieu, I will post the screen shot below and a post from Bloo on instructions on how to get it etc, from the original thread. Hope some of you find this worthwhile!
