Removing iGoogle's 'Home' tab in Firefox

While I'm sure they meant well, they really bugged a lot of users with this new iGoogle design.  The addition of a home tab on the left served no useful purpose for my use anyway.  After some searching around I found a lot of boards with disgruntled users  planning to switch to alternative homepages, I managed to find a solution for now.

Firefox users can install greasemonkey which allows user scripts to modify the way we view webpages.  There's a bunch of scripts made by users over at userscripts.org.

The one we want is iGoogle_fix which simply removes the tabs from the left side of iGoogle and we get our valuable homepage realestate back!

The gMail gadget was also hurt during this design 'upgrade'.  Links within mails were no longer clickable and the iGoogle page messed it up in other ways.  Scripts come to the rescue here to to return the gMail plugin back to it's former glory. Until the author of the gadget updates it this script iGoogle Gmail gadget fix for greasemonkey will do the job.

Update: While links still don't work in the Gmail gadget it has been updated to allow opening messages in a new tab/window which is basically what this script did.
