Firefox addon that adds "View background image" to the context menu. This addon is more powerful and flexible than the one provided by Firefox.

After installation, open about:addons and enable Permissions > Access your data for all websites for the addon. Please see this issue for more details.

Please reinstall the addon after updating Firefox. Otherwise, the context menu item will disappear. I'm working on resolving this issue.

Usage:

  1. Reload pages after installing the extension
  2. Open the context menu on the images
  3. Select "View background image"
  4. The images will appear in a new tab

The extension requires permission to read and change all your data on all websites for viewing background images.

It doesn't work anymore after the newer updates. The newest version that still works as before is: 2.10.4 I don't understand why the developer issues newer versions , which doesn't fix the problem.
