Wonderful minimalist image viewer that liberates you from having to fight with Firefox's zoom behavior.
Edit: To reflect my complete satisfaction with the extension after the developer's response + update to the settings, I am now giving it 5 stars.
Original section of review (no longer relevant):
I want to give it 5 stars but there is no way to set the default interpolation algorithm to nearest neighbor instead of bilinear in the options. This would be a quick and easy feature that would be much appreciated.
P.S. I was able to open the xpi archive to access the JavaScript to try to do this but then the extension's signature changed and my regular Firefox installation refused to let me use it.

Is SharpViewer Safe?
Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
SharpViewer requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
SharpViewer is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
