That's a nice little tool. The "next" and "prev" button would really be useful to browse through more google image results. Or maybe it should be possible to see more images at once, perhaps 3 x 3.
Thanks for the extension.

Without a doubt, this ext is what has prevented Google Maps for displaying for me (on every site tried), disabling it brought them back. G/L.

Nice extension, but the images are to small!

Yes cougarten is right. You could increase the size of the pictures a little bit.

The program does not work
If I highlight nothing then the menu point is available. As soon as I highlight even one letter - it's grayed out.

I have the same problem as Jamie and Sir Not-Appearing-In-This-Film. As soon as I highlight text, the PictureThis context menu entry is grayed out... if I invoke the context menu with a right click. But if I invoke the context menu with my keyboard, then the PictureThis entry works fine. Also, if I navigate the entries in the context menu with the keyboard (using the up & down arrows) it seems like there are 2 invisible entries below the PictureThis one. The first invisible entry (the one right below the PictureThis entry) on Enter, opens a blank tab. The second invisible entry seemingly does nothing. Any ideas on how to fix this? If it helps, here's a list of my currently installed extensions: www.paginasprodigy.com/ianvalencia/my_extensions.html

great idea.
I hope more customizable options...like moving image position so that image will not block the content...why not make image as seperate small popup like window?
hope "picture this" gray-out thing is fixed.

Thats a great idea but the images are a tad small. It'd be cool if you could page through an offering of several images.
