Features & Capabilities

whyEXT Image Quick Save makes saving images faster: when you hover an image on a website, a small download button appears so you can save it with one click.

What you get

Hover-to-save button on images (on normal http:// and https:// pages).
Popup toggle to enable/disable the hover button quickly.
Options to choose whether Firefox should show the Save As dialog for each download.

How it works

A lightweight content script adds UI only while you browse pages you visit.
When you click save, the extension asks Firefox to download the image URL using the Downloads API.

Privacy

No telemetry, no analytics, and no remote code execution.
Stores only extension settings needed for functionality (for example: enabled/disabled, Save As preference).

Permissions (why they exist)

Broad website access (http://*/*, https://*/*) is required so the hover button can appear on the pages where you want to save images.
Downloads is required to save the image file to your computer.
Storage is required to remember your settings locally.

Limitations / honest expectations

Some sites use unusual image loading techniques; if an image URL can’t be downloaded by the browser, saving may fail.
This extension is meant for normal web pages; restricted/internal pages may not be supported.

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.
