run bookmarklets FRAMED with FF add-on

A lot of us have been having trouble with unframing Mafia Wars for several weeks now. It would be really nice if Zynga were to iron some of those kinks out, but in the meantime, the Mafia Secrets blog has found an interesting alternative in the form of a Firefox add-on called FrameExt.

 After installing the Firefox add-on, you'll want to copy the link of whatever bookmarklet you want to use. Mafia Secret's image shows that you can just right-click on a bookmarklet, and "Copy Link Location". This can also be done from already-installed bookmarklets that are on your browser bar. Just right click and copy link location.

There are a few extra clicks involved, but it's worth it in some cases. Right-click somewhere inside Mafia Wars, and look for "This Frame" > "Change Frame URL".

That will bring up this box. Here you will right-click and paste, which will insert the code of your chosen bookmarklet.

In my case, I chose to run Brawler, and here you can see that it's doing its job - in a FRAMED Mafia Wars page.

This will definitely come in handy. Thanks to Mafia Secrets for posting that!
