Answer 1

I have been able to use bookmarklets in recent versions of firefox (I just tested a few on FF23). Two suggestions:

1. Replace spaces with %20. For instance, try your example bookmarklet code with javascript:alert("it%20works") instead of javascript:alert("it works")
2. If this isn't enough, enclose the whole bookmarklet inside an anonymous function, so in your example, you'd write javascript:((function(){alert("it%20works");})())
