This behavor - clicking on a zoomed in/out image resetting zoom to 100% - is default Firefox behavior for images (similar to how the image is drawn centered on the page and on a dark gray background). Using the built-in "open image in new tab" has the same behavior.

The addon does not have control the browser's rendering/behavior of the image, all it does it just open the image. It's unlikely that add-ons could alter the zoom behavior of the browser, at least not without some very hacky workarounds liable to break between firefox updates.

At this point, I suspect your best bet is to file a ticket on bugzilla, as this sounds like its a UX issue for touch-based pinch-zoom and panning of an image accidentally causing a click event to reset the zoom level. Sorry.

Playing around with it, reddit seems to utilize the Accept header, which with the add-on did not tamper. By default it was accepting "text/html" before any other mime types. Altering the Accept header to instead specify media types first seems to work with reddit at this point. I've updated the add-on (version 3.3) with an option, enabled by default, to override the Accept header for this compatiblity.

Thanks for the heads up; looks like I was behind the times on my Firefox updates. I've updated to 113 and saw it broke my menu as well.

I've updated the the userChrome in description to start using order instead of the deprecated moz box ordering. Though in my testing i did not see any effects of flex-direction: column-reverse so i have left it out.

Can you elaborate on what is not working please?

Yes it can be done through userChrome.css

See this thread: https://github.com/agoupinets/view-image-context-menu-item/issues/14

Firefox does not give any nice way for developers to interact with the menu when writing the add-on, so to rearrage it you effectively need to order it by hand.

If you mean the context menu ordering, by default addon menu items are listed at the bottom. By messing with UserChrome.css you can make them appear in a custom order.

In the addon description i have some basic CSS to always list it first in the context menu, but if you want to have better control over the ordering, check this thread: https://github.com/agoupinets/view-image-context-menu-item/issues/14

And also of note that in the add-on preferences there are options to change the left/middle/shift-click behavior of the context menu item if desired.

i am unable to replicate this in my own testing; i appear to be able to correctly open both image and video media using this addon when viewing imgur posts (correctly loads i.imgur.com/... url). if you can replicate this, can you please give a list of detailed steps (preferably open an issue on github as reviews don't support conversations well)?

can you please elaborate on the issue? im not sure i understand what doesn't work correctly. (starting an issue on github would be ideal)
