Access Flickr in the PRC
There’s a new addon for Firefox that gets around the recent Flickr block. Apparently all it affects is Flickr photos. Get it here:

I’m using it and it works great. The only downside of using this is that I won’t know when Flickr becomes unblocked…

It is not possible to install this add-on with any recent version of Firefox. Must be an ancient version. The developer has never updated this item, so it is useless for most people.
