One of the few things I miss from using Internet Explorer is the image toolbar that comes up when you are viewing an image by itself in the browser. Firefox doesn’t have the same functionality built in. Thankfully though, somebody has written an extension to bring this image toolbar to Firefox.

So how does the Image Toolbar extension work? Here is what the developer of the extension has to say about it.

Image Toolbar is a clone of one of Internet Explorer’s features and provides quick and easy access to a handful of image functions in a highly customizable way.

The toolbar is activated by hovering your mouse cursor over an image. It will be displayed (by default) in the top left hand corner of the image, and allows you to save the image or perform other functions.

The extension does require you to have javascript enabled for it to work. Once you get past that, you should have no reason not to be using this great image toolbar.

This Firefox extension is for version 1.5 of the browser. If you want to give it a shot and install it yourself, you can do so over at the Mozilla Update Web site.
