User reviews
Users highly value the 'View Image Info Reborn' add-on for restoring a vital image information feature removed from Firefox. It offers simple, effective image details access via a popup window, appreciated especially by those needing frequent image data. While generally praised, common concerns include the multi-click process to access image info, occasional issues with popup resizing (later resolved), non-clickable links within the popup, and desires for saving window position and size settings. Overall, it significantly improves user experience for image inspection in Firefox.
Pros
- Restores a useful feature that Firefox removed, allowing users to view detailed image information.
- Simple and effective functionality that meets user expectations.
- Popup window includes a resize option for better usability.
- Provides quick access to image details like size and alt text, enhancing browsing efficiency.
- Highly appreciated by users who rely on it frequently, preventing them from switching browsers.
Cons
- Accessing image information requires navigating through menus and results in a popup, which some find less convenient.
- Popup window resizing did not work properly for some users initially but was later fixed.
- Links within the popup are not clickable or middle-clickable, requiring multiple clicks to access image sources.
- Some users wish the popup window's position and size could be saved or standardized for consistent use.

Image information is ONLY available through menu clicking and then appears as a new popup window. Settings seem to have no bearing on this. False advertising.
