User Reviews

This add-on effectively restores the 'view image' context menu feature removed by Firefox, meeting user expectations and aiding workflow continuity. Users appreciate its straightforward, reliable function. However, multiple reviewers highlighted drawbacks, such as the added context menu item being positioned at the bottom rather than with other image commands, reducing visibility. Some criticized the size due to an unusually large image file, desired more customization options, and called for open source transparency for security reasons.

Pros

Restores the "view image" option in the context menu that Firefox removed
Functions exactly as advertised and is reliable
Helps maintain user workflow disrupted by Firefox changes
Freezes the behavior users were accustomed to before Firefox update
Highly appreciated by users who miss this feature

Cons

The new context menu item is placed at the bottom instead of near other image-related options, making it less noticeable
Contains a large screenshot.png file increasing add-on size unnecessarily
Lack of open source availability raises security concerns
Limited configurability such as inability to rename menu entry or change shortcuts

Recent reviews

I understand that it's already possible to change the context menu for firefox with about:config. Having both buttons "open in new tab" and "view image" Is really handy if you like doing both here and there.

Is View on Same Tab 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.

View on Same Tab does not require any sensitive permissions.

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.
