1713229 - View image option gone, replaced with worse option open in tab

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1699128

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, enhancement)

Description

[exuvo]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:88.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/88.0

Steps to reproduce:

Update firefox

Actual results:

The very useful image right click option "view image" was replaced with the strictly worse open in new tab. That effect could be achieved before too using ctrl or middle mouse.

Expected results:

That firefox stops getting worse with each version. I want to view an image centered and sized to fit, then easily use back button to return to where i was. Open in tab is strictly worse.

I can confirm on Fx88, 89 and Nightly 90 using Win 10x64. The "View image" option was changed into "Open image in new tab" and after this update you can view image in a new tab. I'll let the dev team to get an opinion. If this is not the correct component please feel free to change it to an appropriate one.
