Add-on summary
This browser extension detects zoomable images in web pages and allows you to download them with dezoomify.
Just install the extension, open a zoomable image in your browser, click the magnifying glass icon in the address bar, and you'll be able to download the image.
This add-on works by intercepting network requests made by websites. It then searches for zoomable images in them by matching the requested addresses against a set of known patterns. When a zoomable image is found, it adds a small button in your address bar that allows you to download the image with dezoomify.
