i need a quick script for a forum in firefox that basically loads the page,

finds in the source of the page a URL with the words pid=000000 and returns whatever the string 000000 has in it and forms a button or link with a new modified URL using that number

how hard would that be?

very easy
something to the effect of

var hyperlinks = document.getElementsByTagName('a');
for (var i = 0; i < hyperlinks.length; i++)
{
  if (hyperlinks[i].href.match(/pid=(.*)/) != null)
  {
    var newlink = document.createElement('a');
    newlink.href = 'http://somewebsite.com/index.php?pid=' + hyperlinks[i].href.match(/pid=(.*)/)[1];
    newlink.innerHTML = 'link text';
    document.getElementById('whereyouwanttoputit').appendChild(newlink);
	break;
  }
}
