The thumbs in the Explore section of the logged-out flickr.com page don't reference a regular URL; they have embedded hex data for the image instead. This causes Thumbnail Zoom Plus not to show a popup.

Thumbnail Zoom Plus also does not show thumbs when hovering over a link to a photo's flickr page.

We may be able to solve both at once by adding logic that if it can't get a URL from the thumb, look at the URL of the page it links to.

Example:
* Linked page: http://www.flickr.com/photos/29609591@N08/6145252600/?f=hp
* Full-size Image: http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6088/6145252600_306ae87341_z.jpg
