It is not that practical as you have to always head over to the site to search for Greasemonkey scripts for a particular website but it was the only way to discover new scripts. The checks would have to be performed regularly as scripts are added and updated regularly.

The Firefox add-on Greasefire changes this to the better. It integrates itself nicely with the Greasemonkey extension and becomes active on every website for which Greasemonkey scripts are available. The extension maintains a list that gets regularly updated so that new and updated Greasemonkey scripts will be listed when the user takes a look at them

All available Greasemonkey scripts for that specific website will be displayed in a new window that opens when the user right-clicks on the icon in the Firefox status bar and selects the line telling him how many Greasemonkey scripts are available for it.

The manager can then be used to discover the various scripts to find out what they are doing. It is also possible to install them right away or take a look at the source code first to make sure they are not malicious.

Greasefire provides an easy and elegant method of discovering and installing new Greasemonkey scripts in Firefox. Should be definitely worth a test for users who use Greasmonkey or want to start doing so.

It is possible to display your current and upcoming events that you added to Google Calendar in the Firefox sidebar. This is actually pretty easy to accomplish.

What you need to do is add the mobile version of Google Calendar to your bookmarks, right-click the bookmark, select properties from the menu and check the “Load this bookmark in the sidebar” option.

Whenever you load the bookmark from then on it will be displayed in the sidebar displaying the current and upcoming events. This is great if you look at your entries frequently.
