Sorry, I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to say?
xIFr doesn't do any "web search", and I don't see any advantage of copying images to a temporary location (and it would probably require extra permissions if possible to do at all).

If it is the "Access your data for all web sites" permission you are worried about, it is only used to read data from images found on current webpage. And the permission would still be required to copy image to somewhere else (read from original location, write to new location).

UPDATE:
A new version 2.8.0 of xIFr has been released. It will try to re-define menu-item at every new startup of the browser. I haven't tried deleting webext.sc.lz4 myself. Not convinced that it is a good idea to do so. But my best guess is, that this will make menu-item come back for you at first browser-restart after extension has updated (if you haven't already fixed menu-item by un/re-installing of xIFr).

OLD REPLY:
You seem very confident ii is a problem with xIFr. Do you have some technical insight and are able to elaborate? I'm just using the recommended way from documentation to define menu item. That is using browser.menus.create() in browser.runtime.onInstalled handler.

I find it hard to blame xIFr, if you delete a file in Firefox profile using CCleaner. What CCleaner does is sometimes wrong/bad. But there's a Firefox bug that eventually could be related though: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1817287 ? (Though I had the impression that bug was related to MV3 extensions only - xIFr is still only an MV2 extension).

For now, I will assume you can get the menu-item back by un-installing and re-installing xIFr? But I will do some investigation and see if I can make menu-item more robust or "self-regenerating". I hope you can test/verify if a future xIFr-version eventually fixes the problem?

Thanks Ron.
But not sure what you mean by "I can't find it on my PC"?

Thanks :-)

Thanks a lot for your review :-) Well, yes. Maybe I should consider an auto-fit size option? But have you tried the "Snap left" and "Snap right" options for Popup position? They should make popup open in full screen height, kinda like a left or right panel on screen.

Thanks a lot for the review. I don't think I will make a "save to file" functionality (Not even sure it is possible for security reasons). But I could easily make a one-click "copy meta-data" functionallity, essentially doing same thing as marking meta-data in popup and pressing Ctrl-C. Would that be useful?

Update Dec 15th 2020: Well, I added a "copy to clipboard" button in latest version 2.0.
