User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:87.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/87.0

Steps to reproduce:

Downloaded latest version of firefox, right clicked on an image, and observed that "view image" is no longer an option.

Actual results:

"View image" is not there. Instead "open image in new tab" is there, which is useless for my purposes.

Expected results:

"View image" option is there, or ability to enable "view image" via about:config should be available.

Devs have met the demand to reintroduce "view image info" via an about:config option. The same should be done for "view image" option.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::Menus' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.

Hi,

Thank you for opening this enhancement. I will set this as New for visibility and waiting for the developers opinion about it.

Thanks for your input.

Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true

While I would really like some way to configure or otherwise get the old behavior again as well this does seem to be a duplicate of https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1699128

If the maintainers' perspective on the [maintenance | complexity] cost of an about:config option changes I can offer to write a patch if it helps.
