@ev that’s a great question. I hadn’t thought about that. I’m naming my script something different on each update to prevent something else, but maybe after this version I will go back to the standard naming conventions.
As sort of a round-about way, you could download the Greased Lightbox script to your computer, change the line that says:
to:
And then load that up into greasemonkey. Hopefully that makes sense!

Thanks for your work!
I’ve got a suggestion:
Wikipedia sites are supported correctly, but there are many sites using MediaWiki and the script won’t work as expected (including wikipedia commons, the wikipedia’s media site). As a temporary solution, I’ve changed the line 112 from:
includeRegExp : /^https?:\/\/(.*?\.)?wikipedia\.org/i,
to:
includeRegExp : /^https?:\/\/(.*?\.)?wiki[mp]edia\.org/i,
And that addresses the commons problem, but does not help with any other site running MediaWiki. The best solution would be to implement some sort of MediaWiki detector. I know way to little to implement this myself, so thats why its a suggestion.

Thanks for the update to this great script, Joe!
Can I put in a request for a keyboard shortcut (perhaps v) to “View the image in it’s original context”?

Don’t get me wrong, I like Greased Lightbox but I’d like to turn it off sometimes. Mainly when in Flickr, I like to see the comments.
If it can’t be turned off, I’ll need to remove it, how do you do that?
Keep up the good work.
Cheers
Davie

@Davie: You can disable any script for any site using Greasemonkey. This video explains how http://diveintogreasemonkey.org/videos/exclude-pages.html
