Same basic idea as friendfeed_image_zoom http://friendfeed.com/fftools... userscript, but with a few compatibility improvements and all the Chrome Web Store auto-update goodness. For Chrome users, it's recommended to uninstall yesterday's friendfeed_image_zoom userscript and install this one (however, nothing breaks if both are installed at the same time). - Micah

will this also work in Comodo Dragon? - Halil

I'm a little confused now as to what to install and how, I use Google Chrome, Comodo Dragon which is based on Chrome's open source, and firefox, as sometimes always run in to bugs so hate relying on 1 browser these days. Do I install both fixes? - Halil

I believe Comodo Dragon is compatible with scripts written for Google Chrome. If you can't install from the Google Chrome Web Store use the friendfeed_image_zoom version which works on both Firefox (with Greasemoney add-on) and Chrome-based browsers. - Micah from FFHound(roid)!

Hmmm, the Golden View add-on isn't working properly for me in Chrome 18. :( It opens a new tab with the FF Search menu.) - Curtis (a) Jackson

Oh, never mind. My "HTTPS Everywhere" seems to interfere with the script. Hmmm. - Curtis (a) Jackson

That could interfere, yes. - Micah from FFHound(roid)!

Outstanding! Thank You very much for this. - Sugar Dandy (StefanoHBS)

Glad it helps, Stephano, Indomabile. :) - Micah from FFHound(roid)!

Micah, sorry to ask again, but still confused, in firefox how exactly do i check for updates, you said i need to install it manually, but will i be prompted when an update is available? - Halil

Easiest is just install again right now (it installs over-top). I'll make an announcement post when I do future upgrades. - Micah from FFHound(roid)!

PEOPLE OF FRIENDFEED, I IMPLORE YOU IN ALL CAPS: *Install* *this* *script* - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo

Sorry. That would require me to switch browsers. I'll just stick with not opening pix. - Hookuh Tinypants

Firefox would be great, as not a fan of chrome. I seem to remember way back when on FF that when you clicked on a photo it came up, without all this preview nonsense, what happened? Despite Facebook's failings when you post something it links the text and descriptor of article neater, I'm pretty sure FF did this originally. For example a Youtube video would link with the text of the file instead of having to manually doing it... - Jason

The brain surgeons still fumbling with keeping FF alive made a brilliant alteration to the programming to change the way photos open (you're right, they used to just open in your browser, like a normal friggin' website). Because we haven't suffered enough indignities on this site. - Hookuh Tinypants

Jason, I made a Firefox version too (see first comment for link). - Micah from FFHound(roid)!

Thanks, Micah have downloaded the Zip file. - Jason

Hookah, you reckon Facebook done this on purpose? - Jason

Not sure what you mean. They purposely made the change, claiming it was a security thing. Beyond that, I don't know if they have any other intentions behind their actions. - Hookuh Tinypants

Jason, the change was intentional - Ben Golub who still admins Friendfeed stated it was for security concerns. The technique in my script is safer than restoring the original behaviour, but brings back the convenience. - Micah from FFHound(roid)!

It seems strange, that is all. But at least the site is still alive..http://www.youtube.com/watch... - Jason

It's ok. They can make all the changes they want. We've got Micah. I think we win. :D - Hookuh Tinypants

Micah FTW :-), I'm I doing something wrong, I downloaded the zip file and then I extracted it but there seems no change.. - Jason

Jason, you'll need to install the Greasemonkey Firefox add-on first: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US... - then click https://raw.github.com/wittman... to install my friendfeed_image_zoom extension. - Micah

Thanks Micah, that's great! - Jason

You're most welcome. :) - Micah

We should all buy FF - Jason

And bumping this one too. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo

*BUMP* for Adrian - Micah from Android

Very useful! - Son of Groucho

*INSTALLED* Bitchen dude! EDIT: Why'd they change that in the first place? Very strange. - Adrian

Bump! (I have a new laptop and needed this.) - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
