!! 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.

  • 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.

So useful, does not work in EVERY case, but in so many, that it's really an improvement.

Every time I click to drag the image around, the zoom resets. It's impossible to use. If you fixed that, it'd be the best image zoom addon available.
