Just installed your script, and it appears to work for me! Thanks for that.

I noticed that the theater mode will flash for a split-second before the original/old Facebook photo page loads. Is there any way to kill it completely?

Thanks again!

Unfortunately, not that I've been able to figure out. I originally tried to find a way to hack the PhotoTheater object or grab the onclick event for the links, but I couldn't figure out how to get a reference to it. I may try again when I have a bit more time.

OK, I finally figured out how to consistently grab the onclick event for those thumbnails and keep it from bubbling up to its parents (where the onclick events apparently actually live). Every so often, the theater will still flicker up, which, as of now, I can only attribute to the script not initializing on time.

I'm experiencing this flicker as well, but only on firefox (sometimes does not initialize right away and out comes the lightbox). Works perfectly (at least on me) on chrome though.

Hmmmmmm, interesting. I guess I'll have to do some more testing in FF. What's weird is that for me, I had the opposite happen (I think). It worked perfectly in Firefox, but Chrome would occasionally still launch the photo album.

Your latest update fixed the issue on firefox (I forgot to mention I was using FF4beta). Thanks a lot.

Don't really see the flicker anymore! Seems to be working well now. Again, thanks!

@grayscale and Johnny Huynh: Great! Glad it worked!
