    This really should be an about:config option in FF itself, but a good extension nonetheless

    Thanks for making this add-on. Unfortunately it doesn't work with sites like Pixiv, opened pics show 403 error.

    I believe this is due to such image sites requiring the referrer to be set on the image request. The normal tabs and windows addon API does not allow the referrer to be configured.

    There are probably ways around this but that would require making the addon a lot more invasive into the web page to trigger opening the image from within page.

    Edit4: version 2.0 should properly implement this using webrequest

    Please add standard modifier keys. Shift - open in new window, Ctrl - open in new tab, Ctrl+Shift - open in new background tab.

    Edit: Nice. Works perfect.

    I have a seriously important request, can you make it so that right clicking and pressing the i key makes it view image? It used to do that, and I used it every day to open images fast. You probably have to remove the "open image in new tab" option to get it to work. As of writing this, pressing "i" cycles through options.

    As far as I can tell there's no way to override a specific default context menu item - I would have preferred to remove the original context item too. The best workaround I can think of is to have a hotkey bound that doesn't conflict with existing menu items to avoid the cycling.

    Edit: version 1.1 changes hotkey from I to M which should not conflict any other standard menu items
    Edit2: using userChrome.css can achieve hiding the default #context-viewimage menu item

    thanks for fixing a very stupid decision by Mozilla. Still, I should not need an extension to have a basic functionality like this!!

    THANK YOU! This option should have never been removed from Firefox.

    Although this feels like it should really be an about:config option, this extension is simple and effective, and very easy to verify as safe for the paranoid that want to peek inside.

    The only issue I noticed is that you might occasionally encounter a 403 error or the like on sites that block hotlinking (I'm guessing the native function didn't actually reload the image). Aside from that functionality appears to be identical to the old context menu item.
