Better Flickr Firefox Extension

If you're a fan or user of photo sharing site Flickr and use the Firefox internet browser, then you might like a look at the Better Flickr Firefox extension, created by Lifehacker.com's Gina Trapani.

It's basically a compilation of work done by several Greasemonkey scripters, which adds a menu of optional extra features to Flickr that allows you to…

• Add more user links to photo pages.
• Use a rich-text editor for comments.
• Display EXIF information on a picture.
• Have a drop-down, All Sizes menu.
• Have an "Instant Zoom" button on photo pages.
• See an image of the camera used to take a picture.
• Reply directly to another commenter using their linked name or avatar.

Being a Flickr user, I think some of these could be very useful and I really like the idea of a rich-text editor, quicker access to all sizes and more links. It's a fairly early revision so maybe we'll get a few more bits of functionality added over time.
