Image information on webside not possible

Ich kann keine Bildinformationen mehr abrufen bei Klick mit rechter Maustaste ins Bild. Die war bisher immer möglich gewesen.

Danke

E. Palm


Translation I can no longer call up any image information on a website by clicking the image with the right mouse button. So far it was always possible.

Thanks for answer

Hi, unfortunately the developers - in their wisdom, decided to remove the right click 'View Image Info' entry from the context menu in Firefox 87. You can try adding this extension which will restore some of the missing information and is accessible in the same way - with a right click: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/eximageinfo/

If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please help other users by marking the best reply as Solved. Thank you!

Hi E. Palm, there is work under way to return the built-in feature in a future update, maybe in two months. Until then, if you are still considering extensions, I posted one myself that you could look at:

https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/view-image-info-reborn/

If you are running Firefox 89 or later, here is how you return View Image Info to the image context menu:

(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button accepting the risk.

(2) In the search box in the page, type or paste browser.menu.showViewImageInfo and pause while the list is filtered

(3) Double-click the preference to switch the value from false to true
