Review summary

Users appreciate the Contextual Google Image Search add-on for bringing reliable reverse-image search functionality to Firefox, similar to Chrome's capability. The ability to configure how search results open is also praised. However, multiple users note that the default behavior to open searches in the same tab is inconvenient, and the brief delay on the Google main page causes momentary confusion that the search failed. Adding support for opening results in new tabs via middle-click or settings would improve usability.

Pros

Provides consistent and reliable reverse-image search functionality.
Enables Google image search directly within Firefox similar to Chrome.
Allows configuration for opening search results in current, foreground, or background new tabs.
Highly appreciated by users and praised for fulfilling a previously missing feature in Firefox.

Cons

By default, the image search opens in the same tab which is not convenient for some users.
There is a slight delay on the new-tab Google main page causing a brief confusion that the search did not work.
Lacks middle-click or easy options for opening search results in new tabs, which some users desire.
