Remove the Black "Theater Mode" from Facebook Pictures

Facebook has a new feature that is really annoying called theater mode. It creates a black screen to display pictures on and will not let you right-click pictures to copy the exact image address or do other fun things. If you want to disable it here is a easy trick I figured out.

1) Click the picture you want to view so that theater mode pops up (Like this)
2) Highlight the address bar
3) Delete the address starting with "&set" (Like this)
4) Click enter while still in the address bar to go to the new address without the stupid theater mode (Like this)

Easy right? Usually in a URL data after an '&' symbol is extra parameters that are being passed and not needed. So when copying a URL you can delete them.

Enjoy!
