Part 1:
1-Install Greasemonkey plug-in
2-Restart firefox
Part 2:
1-Install Link Checker Script
2-Restart firefox
3- Goto:
http://hosts1.atspace.com/900rslinks.html
Should look like this if its installed correctly:

By editing the script and changing options to:


// Options //
//-------------//
show_black_backround_in_dead_links = 'yes'; // yes or no
You can make it look like this:

I haven't had any issues since installing this script. It doesn't freeze or lockup my browser, its really fast, and I don't have to tell it to check the links since it does it automatically.
If you have trouble getting it to work then make sure you have the following correct:
1- Firefox 2 or 3
2- Installed Greasemonkey and its enabled.
3- Installed Link Checker Script.
Confirmed working in Firefox 2.0.0.14 and Firefox 3
Hope it helps other lazy people like me. Mad props to the coder of this script!

Thank you, useful tut
You are welcome
I prefer using online link checkers. They are called also universal link checkers. My favorite is http://linkwatcher.org/linkchecker and its damn fast, supports over 16 different file hosters.
But I think this way is faster than online link checkers, isn't it?
