Do you miss the View Image Info option on the right-click context menu? You can add it back, but this extension adds some unique features you might find useful.

Restoring the native feature: in the Firefox about:config preference editor, double-click browser.menu.showViewImageInfo to switch its value to true.

Using This Extension: right-click an image and you'll find either:

  • "View Image Info..." -- click to launch a small popup window with info about the image.
  • "View Background Image Info" -- expand the sub-menu and click an image name to launch a small popup window with info about the image.
Note: If you hold the Shift key when right-clicking, the background image detection doesn't run.

Note: Ctrl+click is for Windows and Linux, on Mac, please use Command+click.

Glitches and Missing/Future Features

Occasionally a Save as... link will open the image in the popup window instead of showing a download dialog. For now, please close the window and call it up again. Hopefully I'll figure out what causes that.

Image information is ONLY available through menu clicking and then appears as a new popup window. Settings seem to have no bearing on this. False advertising.
