bordr

With the release of the gamma version of their site, Flickr decided to drop the thin border that they once placed around photos. This tool reinstates that border for Firefox users.

installation

bordr works only on Firefox with the greasemonkey extension installed. If you do not have greasemonkey installed, you can get it here. Remember to close all Firefox windows and restart it after installing the extension.

If you have greasemonky installed, simply right-click on the "install bordr" link below and select "Install User Script..."

install bordr

issues

• borders don't appear at first
  This script works by adjusting the page's stylesheet. This is only effective if it is done after the page has loaded. This is why the borders don't appear at first, and why the page "twitches" a little when it is loaded and the border styles are applied. I am trying to figure out if there is a way to improve this.
• configuration
  Currently bordr applies the same border that flickr beta used. I am working on making it configurable. In the meantime, if you are brave you can manually edit the user script to change the border style yourself.
• dependency on greasemonkey
  I am working on implementing this as a standalone Firefox extension, but that could take a while.
