Made an update to your gist, fixing two small bugs.

  1. The text is case sensitive, and Facebook (probably) changed the text form 'Hide from timeline' to 'Hide from Timeline'
  2. The first class that it needs to click (the arrow) was also changed as it looks like to -> _dxs _p

Here's the updated gist: https://gist.github.com/anthonymonori/6428045

Is it possible to dellete all my posts permanently instead of only hiding them?
