(UPDATE: Version 1.0.4 available!)
(UPDATE: New and improved version 1.0.3 available!)

Sorry for the delay, I've been away from a computer for a few weeks and have just started getting back into the swing of things.

Download Flickr Original 1.0.2

I'm a bit frustrated that the editors at Mozilla Addons still haven't approved the extension so it's still in the sandbox there. There have been two reasons it hasn't been approved:
1) the extension "must have some reviews either on AMO or elsewhere on the web"
2) "Your add-on uses your own website instead of flickr.com to view and download flickr images."

I gave a long list of sites that have blogged and reviewed the extension but for some reason they didn't acknowledge it the first couple times I submitted. Also, I'm not sure why they are averse to me using the Flickr API through a web service on my server. It's been quite a hassle and I've just about given up trying to re-nominate. You guys can download the sandboxed version anyway.

On a side note, I started rewriting the extension to do the image lookup on the client side via JSON to see if its faster. Perhaps AMO will finally approve it too!
