New Firefox Add-On

schumi84 · 5 Mar 2008 at 13:37

Hi there, not sure where to post this so thought GD is as good a place as any.

Have just been made aware of this relatively new add-on for those of you that use Firefox for your internet browsing:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5579

Basically it allows you to view every picture on the screen in one go without having to scroll forward/backward etc:

All you have to do is hover over the bottom of one of the pictures on the screen and click on the 'play' button when it appears. It will then take you to the screen that i have included above.

Hope u enjoy it.

Oooh, I like it! Thanks for the heads up!

Pic Lens is amazing!

I've got Cool Iris installed as well but it's not quite as impressive

That's fantastic, but how do you then save a picture once you're using it?

Wow impressive

Cheers for the move, completely missed the software section.

Edit/ To get the image, click on the little arrow next to 'Google' at the top of the page once you have double clicked on an image and it will take you to the image.

I installed this a couple of weeks ago. Really good although the zoom is a bit grainy.

Not sure you can blame PicLens for poor resolution and/or compression

Facebook and the like look bad but try Flickr, some excellent images on there.

I found the zoom was only grainy until you clicked on the image being zoomed on, i hear what you're saying though.

Cant help thinking that Windows Photo Gallery should have had features like this.

The next version will apparently - they're supposed to be shipping a beta that'll work soon.
