Clean out your Facebook activity log with Facebook Posts Deleter 2016!

There is a Greasemonkey script called Facebook Timeline Cleaner, which has not been updated and does not work anymore. So, I created my own User JS for Opera and later adapted it for Firefox. I am not wholly satisfied with this script as it uses recursion. But, it does work. See this video. It is extremely gratifying to see Facebook posts get deleted mercilessly.
