Hi, why has 'view image' and 'view video' been removed from the context menu in the latest Firefox versions? Thanks.

Hi Dopebear, they were change to Open [media] in New Tab. I suspect this is related to how other browsers do it, but I don't know the details behind the decision. It would be nice if it was a user preference (same tab vs. new tab), but I don't know whether that will be restored.

Meanwhile, some users are installing an add-on as a workaround.
