Does anyone have this or have tried it before? Damn its cool! I'll do a short little "How-to" guide for you guys.

Step one: Download it, install it, and then restart firefox. It's pretty much automated as I'm sure most of us already know. All you have to do follow the instructions which are as simple as clicking "yes or no and restart". Even a monkey can figure out how to install a firefox addon. ;)

Step Two: What you want to do now is go to somewhere with pictures, like google images for example. We'll use "lolcats" as the image search subject this time, just for example sakes.

Step Three: So now that we have our images, what we're going to do now is use "PicLens". To do that, simply move your mouse cursor up towards the "Piclens" button right under the "Minimize" tab in your web browser and click it. In case you are having trouble finding the button, here is a screen shot with the button highlighted in a red square box.

Step Four: So now that we are in the PicLens program, we're going to use it! Which is super retardedly easy and simple. Either move your mouse in one direction, or the other. If that doesn't work, click that blue dotted scroll bar at the bottom of the screen and drag it in either one way or the other. Thats it! Your now using the worlds simplest program! Here is a screen shot at what you should be seeing, just in case your not sure whether its working or not.

So why would you want to use this program might you ask? What is the benefit? Well, here are a few reasons that I have discovered so far...

So much sexier looking than boring old google! And without bogging down the browser too! (at least I haven't noticed anything).
No bothersome clicking of pages (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc), just point your mouse in a direction and browse pictures endlessly!
Quicker loading of pictures, as it doesn't load each individual page a time, but rather each individual picture as you scroll through them. ...endlessly! (or at least, until you run out of pictures to browse through, at picture 62,300)
You don't need to actually visit the website to view the picture in full screen, just click the picture!Well, thats it from me for now! Hope you enjoyed my little mini review/how-to! ^_^
