From what I understand, this is more of a Windows issue than a Firefox issue.

The removal process involves tinkering with registry so proceed with caution: External support article: How to Remove Programs from the "Open With" Context Menu in Windows Check your registry again if Firefox option is reappearing.

Alternatively, you can make your image open in a default program so you can effectively skip using "Open with".

thank you strafy for answering

yes you are right I followed one of the windows instruction to remove it once but it reapprear in less than a week

I have default viewer but sometime i need open with "paint" which usually first choice unless firefox reappear again then i keep clicking it quickly lol so it open with FF which annoy me

if it is windows issue thanks i will follow there, but if there is a choice in FF setting that avoid FF from being image viewer in windows 10 will be great

thanks again
