reporter, I suspect the showimage extension <http://showimage.mozdev.org/> does
what you want. I don't think this would make sense as a standard feature in the
browser, except perhaps when images are disabled in Options.

Refinement, plus secondary bug with pictures in href

On any page with images, if images haven't loaded, bringing up a context menu on
an image has no options for loading the image in place. Also Images in a href do
not have "View picture" option when they aren't loaded. "View picture" does show
up in a href picture that is partially loaded.

"View Picture" might be thought to provide the show in place functionality, but
instead displays the picture on its own. Returning back from viewing a picture
on its own does not show the picture in the page.

Also shouldn't the status be changed from UNCONFIRMED?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to a page with pictures on it
2. Hit stop before a picture loads
3. Right click, no way to load picture in page.

1. Go to Tools|options Click on content, Uncheck Load pictures
2. Go to a page with pictures where the pictures are not in cache
3. Right click, no option.

Actual Results:  
No option to load pictures on the page.

Expected Results:  
A menu item in the context menu upon click should show picture in place. IE
provides this functionality by a context menu item called "Show Picture" which
will cause confusion on migration.
