How It Works

Installing PicLens

Click Download on the main page and follow the instructions to complete the installation process. PicLens will activate the next time Firefox is launched.

If a yellow bar appears with the the message "Firefox prevented this site from asking you to install software on your computer", click the "Edit Options" button to right of the yellow bar. Then click "Allow" and then close the window. This gives Firefox permission to install add-ons to your browser from the PicLens website.
