Install this script in Firefox-based browsers (Firefox, Seamonkey, IceWeasel) using the Greasemonkey add-on. Then, go to your Facebook "Activity Log". This scripts was tested in Firefox 34. If you use a much different browser, it may not work as Facebook serves different web pages (CSS/JS) for different versions of browsers. To fix that, spoof your current browser as Firefox 34. For this, use a browser ID spoofer add-on (such as User Agent Overrider https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/user-agent-overrider/) and with the custom agent string "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; rv:34.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/34.0". This script was simplified and tested in 2018 and it works fine.

Looks like half the script is missing?

No "Delete Facebook Posts" that pops on the top-left for me

Got that button using https://www.facebook.com/*allactivity as included pages instead of https://www.facebook.com/*=allactivity, but when I click it the only thing it does is to show a button for the first shown activity that I must click manually for confirming the action.

In short, it does not work.
