The userscript in question: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/130532
After the site it's been made for has been updated to HTML5, I had to update the script. However, it's got a really big problem now. When I launch the script's main function that contains the XMLHttpRequest, it simply spams the console with these requests until the browser simply crashes.
Now, I looked around in both StackOverflow and in Google for anything that could help me, but there's nothing.
If you proceed to try the script, be careful, because it crashes the browser. Or at least, it does for me in FF 11.00
