Previously when you used to click on an image in Facebook, you were taken to its Facebook page;
but now you view the enlarged photo popped in front of the page. This
“popping out” new feature is called “Photo Theater” and I, along with
countless others, dislike Theater.
If you share the same opinion and use either Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox, then you should follow the following steps to get back to viewing Facebook photos the old way.
For Google Chrome Users
In order to view Facebook photos the old way, Chrome users need to install a script called “.” This script can be found here.
Just locate the green “Install” button and click on it. After the
script is installed you can check and see that new Facebook photo
viewing interface has been disabled.
For Mozilla Firefox Users
The steps for Firefox users are essentially the same as for Google
Chrome users i.e. you need to install the same “Facebook Photo Theater
Killer” script that can be gotten from here. But before that Firefox needs to have Greasemonkey – a Firefox add-on that lets Firefox run scripts like the one we need.
You can get Greasemonkey from here. Once you install Greasemonkey, you can install the abovementioned script to disable Photo Theater in Facebook.
