Summary

Analyze keywords

!! In an attempt to be compatible with image sites that block hot-linking, this add-on requires additional permissions to be able to intercept image requests and set the Referer and Accept headers.

Description Adds "View Image" context menu item for images, restoring old functionality replaced by the "Open Image in New Tab" official context menu item. Also adds "View Video" and "View Audio", functioning in a similar fashion.

Add-on contains an Options page allowing for configuration of what the various user actions can do. Default actions are:

Left click opens selected image in the same tab.
Shift left click opens selected image in a new window.
Ctrl left click opens selected image in new foreground tab.
Ctrl+shift left click opens selected image in new background tab.
Middle click opens selected image in a new background tab.

userChrome.css !! Here be dragons. userChrome allows a lot of customization of the UI, but is subject to unannounced changes by Mozilla over the course of Firefox releases.

Recent reviews

Works mostly great. Question: can something be done about reddit images? Simply opening image URL in new tab doesn't work, it opens reddit page with image which means image cannot be easily zoomed in. Edit: update is working as described in the reply. Thank you
