First, install a plugin called Greasemonkey

Next install a script that does all the wonderful magic.  Facebook Purity

Restart Firefox, and voila.  No more quizzes.  You don’t even have to “Hide” them anymore.

So I thought I would share with everyone how to get rid of them if you don’t know how.

Go to your Facebook home page and on the left side you will see this:

home

Click on the application that you would like to quiet down and on the right side you will see a hide button. Click that and you can hide from that friend, or the second option is to hide the quiz.

delete

That’s it. No more what superherocursewordfavoriteshittyteams are you. If you like the Browns, become a fan. Don’t fill out a stupid quiz.

I had this stop working for me and nothing would show in the home screen.  Just unload the Facebook Purity script, and reinstall it.
