Greased
Lightbox is a nifty Greasemonkey (and Creammonkey for Safari) script by Joe Lencioni that I came across yesterday.
When it finds links to image files, clicking those links causes the image to pop up with the suddenly-popular
"lightbox" effect rather than navigating away from the linking page. Not only is it a cool effect, it makes
browsing image galleries and Google Images a lot smoother. It also has extra support for sites like Flickr, Facebook,
and Gmail, which is a nice bonus. If I were to add anything to Greased Lightbox it would be some kind of slideshow
functionality, but it seems to be under active development so perhaps that's coming.

Thanks for the link. ALso, just a heads up -- I just released v0.04 which (among other things) adds some basic slideshow functionality with the arrow keys. Cheers!

This is also built off the original CSS modifications developed by Lokesh Dhakar:

Which is also further expanded upon for customizing here at AlwaysBeta:

Additionally if you wish to see a site that uses this modification actively you can visit an example here (click on the pictures under the 'Stand Out' area:

All in all it's great stuff for Firefox users.
