255600 - 'View Image' should reload image if image broken/not loaded.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 47475

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Lloyd Wood]

I spend a lot of time looking at pages where images have failed to load on the
first attempt (I'm behind a transparent proxy). To see those images in the page,
I can either Reload the page entirely and hope that the second time works, or,
if only a single image is missing from the page, right-click on the missing
image and and 'View Image' to view that image, and then press Back to see the
image in situ as intended.

Right-clicking an image could include a 'Reload image' option, but better to
apply some logic to 'View Image' - if the image is not already fully loaded and
visible, load the image in place in the existing page so that the image can be
viewed, otherwise, if it is already visible, show it fullsize in a new window
(the current behaviour).

('View Image' is not tab-aware. Ideally, if tabs are present, that would be used
as context, and 'View Image' would either be 'View Image in new page' or 'View
Image in new tab'.)
