    There is this very buggy firefox extension called Customize Your Web. It is a WYSIWYG background javascript generator for firefox.

    Things to do with this extension:
    customize default answers for ProductRnR hits on page load(very easy). It is faster than using autohotkey on firefox.
    Crowdsource: Make only the search terms selectable(easy) and then add an onclick code to google search to highlight your chosen answer (medium skill) for a faster drag and drop to the answer page.
    Then others like resize the working frame when it is too small. Open needed links on pageload, etc. What you can do depends on your skill and imagination.

    It is an awesome way to customize your hits.

    Downside:
    The extension has been out of development for years. It will break whenever you run into a bug. On my system if I open the options menu, it deletes all scripts and permanently breaks. I have full functionality for making and running scripts on one install of firefox, I just can't export or import them. And having to fully reinstall firefox every time the extension breaks to get it working again isn't fun.

    For anyone that regularly runs firefox, this is a fun tool to explore. Be prepared to deal with it breaking. F10 opens the main program. I wish it was still under development. It is an ideal tool for mturk.
