Web Browsers Bookmarklets |
I couldn't find a way to permanently set the Reddit comment sort order without logging in.

Old

New
-
Controversial

Q&A

These bookmarklets might work in various Firefox-like browsers, maybe even Firefox.
To install them, you can just dragdrop the above links into your bookmarks toolbar.
In the Pale Moon web browser, to show or hide your Bookmarks Toolbar, go to the "View" menu, then the "Toolbars" menu item, and choose "Bookmarks Toolbar".
