Opens photos posted to Gawker sites in a new tab at their original size
This extension enables you to view an image posted to a Kinja blog (Jalopnik, OppositeLock, io9, Gawker, etc.) in its originally uploaded size. To view an image's original size, you had to open it in a new tab and change the file name to "original.jpg." This extension streamlines that process.
To use:
Hover your cursor over an image, right click, and select "Open original size in new tab." The image will open in a new tab in its largest available size.
Note: Often, authors crop the leading images to the minimum size before publishing. This extension won't enable you to view such images at a larger size.

I have loved this but it needs an update after the Kinja 1.2 update that just rolled out. What you need to do is remove the /t_original2 to get the fullsize image
Very useful! No need to change the URL yourself anymore as this does it for you.
