I found out that menu with image items appeared not only on selected images but on web site's background image. I believe that in previous version of Firefox this menu did not appeared on background images. Moreover I saved a web page and opened it. Link to this background image could find on style.css file only. I checked list of files for saved web page and these images are not exist. Therefore if this web site will be shutdown I would not be able to open saved page properly. It is interested that when I click on saved web page items of this menu appeared. When I select background image to try to open in next Tab I get a message that this file is not exists off-line. Yes, file is not exists but but Firefox saved link to background image not an image itself.

Hello Urif,

That is called "Context Menu".

Depending on where you right click, the options do change.

For example if you click it in this editing screen, you will get a set of commands

If you highlight/block a word or sentence on a webpage, the right click on it will again give you a set of commands

Unfortunately, i do not know how to disable it.

Hi UriF, I'm not sure which is the main problem you want to solve:

(1) You found image-related items on the right-click context menu when you did not right-click on an image

The old "View image" and "View background image" items were replaced with "Open image in new tab" in Firefox 88. That is by design.

(2) When using Save Page As... in the "Web page, complete" format, a background image file was missing from the companion folder

I don't use this feature very often (once or twice a year?), so I'm not sure whether that is what usually happens or whether it is a glitch that occurs from time to time.
