Features & Capabilities

The View Image Context Menu Item Chrome extension restores the classic "View Image" functionality directly into your browser's image context menu. It adds convenient options to view images, videos, and audio files right from a right-click menu. With versatile default actions—including opening in the same tab, new windows, or background/foreground tabs—you gain flexible ways to interact with media files without navigating away.

This extension requires permissions to modify HTTP headers to allow hotlink-compatible access, ensuring it works with sites that restrict direct image linking. For advanced users, it offers an extensive userChrome.css customization allowing you to hide default menu items like "Open Image in New Tab" and reorder context menu entries for a cleaner and more logical browsing experience.

Quick and easy to configure, this add-on revives missing media context features while granting you control over how you view images, videos, and audio inline within your browsing workflow.

User Reviews

Users broadly praise the add-on as essential and useful, especially for restoring the original View Image menu item and improving image viewing. The main complaints center on the top placement of the menu item, inconsistent behavior on some image hosts (Imgur, Reddit), occasional breakages after Firefox updates, and the need for CSS tweaks due to deprecated selectors.

Pros

Very useful and essential addon that improves image viewing experience.
Restores the original 'View Image' context menu item after Mozilla removed it.
Generally works well across many sites, providing a better image viewing experience.
Keeps user control over opening images in the same tab or a new tab.

Cons

View Image entry sits at the top of the context menu, making it intrusive and hard to reach on some pages.
Not working as expected with certain image hosts (Imgur, Reddit), causing the link to open a page instead of the image.
Can break after Firefox updates and may require fixes, as noted by users.
Some CSS tweaks rely on deprecated selectors and require manual fixes to maintain correct item placement.

Absolutely essential addon. The icon came back on 140 esr, but that's minor.

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.
