Piclens for Mac Only
This next Firefox extension is a must have, especially if you have big wide real estate on your flat screen. Here’s my desktop with Piclens:
Imagine a RSS news reader where you are free to browse thru the topics in pictures like Cover Flow or iPhoto. A picture is worth a thousand words. Enjoy! It also makes you want to get a bigger screen.
You can download the Firefox extension at their website. Whooops. It’s now called Cooliris. While there, go ahead and download CoolPreviews too.
Whoops again. Piclens/Cooliris is not for mac only, there’s a Windows version too, as pointed out in the comments by Luna from Cooliris. You can download all the different versions here. It comes in different flavours too, not just Firefox, but Safari (great!), and IE (shudders).
