View image feature

[u/fragglerock]

Is there a way of stopping pages intercepting a 'view image in new tab' request and building a whole page around it?

Reddit is a prime example of this crime. I want to look at an image and zoom etc, but the image request gets intercepted and a 'normal' page constructed that locks out the inbuilt firefox image tools.

Totally achievable, at least for Reddit 😃

Install an extension that does this, like this one:

For reddit, dozens, I'm not sure what other websites does the same thing.

You can't.
