Using autohotkey to open multiple images
I have Firefox as my default viewer. I want to open a picture in a new window, then have multiple other pictures open in the same window (exactly like drag and dropping the image to the window).
So far I have: ^!f11:: Run C:/Users/name/Desktop/filename.jpg
I don't know how to open subsequent images in the same window

Hmmm, would you be willing to make a global change to your Firefox settings to open external links as a new tab in the last active window? Currently you are overriding the default behavior and forcing a new window. I'll show you what I mean.
In a new tab, type or paste about:config and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
In the filter box, type or paste link.o and pause while the list is filtered.
The effect of your settings is indicated in bold:
(A) browser.link.open_newwindow
3 = divert new window to a new tab (default)
2 = allow link to open a new window
1 = force new window into same tab
(B) browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction - for links in Firefox tabs
0 = apply the setting under (A) to ALL new windows (even script windows)
2 = apply the setting under (A) to normal windows, but NOT to script windows with features (default)
1 = override the setting under (A) and always use new windows
(C) browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external - for links in other programs
-1 = apply the setting under (A) to external links (default)
3 = open external links in a new tab in the last active window
2 = open external links in a new window
1 = open external links in the last active tab replacing the current page
So you might change the last preference to 3 and see whether (i) it solves your current problem and (ii) is tolerable for normal links.
