Restore image link preview when right-clicking?

In the new version of Firefox on Ubuntu 10.04 whenever I right-click on images I no longer am able to see a preview of the image URL. In older versions I was able to, but in order to see the URL I need to either copy the image location and open in a new tab or open the properties, both which take more time. Is there a way to restore this function?

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04

In Firefox 3.6 Properties has been removed from the right click context menu. You can use View Image Info or View Page Info in the right click context menu to see the (image) properties.

Thanks,

But does this add-on restore the feature where it provides a preview on the link. I realized that the properties option was missing but what I am looking for is where when I right-click over an image it provides the first 10 to 15 characters of the link over a button that would open the link in a new tab. Does this add-on restore this or is there another way to do that?

You should see the location of a link on the Status bar (View > Status Bar). If you got a tooltip on hovering a link then you may have had an extension that added that feature and that is no longer working.
