its a really good program, especially for those who need to look further into pictures they see. sadly, its been causing websites like youtube to load super slowly as of late, and i did pinpoint it down to this addon. if this were to be fixed, and youtube doesn't lag to the point where you can barely add videos to watch later list, and it takes 40 seconds to load up your subscriber/home page. then it would've been an easy 5/5 for me.

Oh my F... Wow!!! I've been trying to twist myself in 4000 pieces trying to get an old, no-longer maintained extension (imagus), to work, and it just keeps gradually failing. THIS Extension... I thought I had scoured Firefox's Add-On Shop for EVERY type of similar Extension! Why did I just find this now?? This Rocks. This Totally Rocks. Vincent W., you just made my tremendous day. Cheers!
