Firefox's querySelector does not support the pseduo-class :has() well enough like Chrome does.

BTW, the twitter auth token cannot be found in localStorage when using Firefox so I have to find it manually.

Here is my forked snippet with Firefox support.

This would make the script more robust.

tried with firefox, seems twitter no longer stores auth token in local storage, so I have to monkey patch the XHR :(

Thanks for solving the token issue. This hack is very creative.
