Please note this is my first proper Github-Project, so any advice is welcome! (no matter if for the code or the github-repository)

• If deepth is more than 1 it gets a little buggy, but I´m gonna fix that (1 is default)
• Needs quite a lot of RAM (not just firefox, but also the script as the friendslist/deepth gets huge)
