View Background Image is a Firefox add-on designed to enrich the image viewing experience by adding a dedicated option to the context menu. This tool offers enhanced functionality compared to the default Firefox feature, allowing users to easily access and view background images on web pages. After installation, users must enable permissions to ensure the add-on functions correctly, particularly after updates to Firefox.

To use this add-on, users simply need to reload the pages after installation, right-click on the desired image, and select 'View background image' from the context menu. The selected images will then open in a new tab for a better viewing experience. The add-on requires permission to read and modify data on all websites, ensuring seamless functionality across different sites.
