(Whiteboard: [foxfooding][community] [proton-foxfooding])

Firefox Version: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:88.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/88.0
Window Size (inner width and height): 2225x1324

Steps to Reproduce

Right click on an image or video.

Expected Behavior

Allow viewing an image or video in the same tab while having the choice - via CTRL or middle mouse button - to open it to a new tab if needed.
The same behaviour that has been present for probably a decade, if not longer.

Actual Behavior

Only an option to open an image or video into a new tab is available ever since 88.0, no option to open it in the same window, which unnecessarily reduces functionality and causes unnecessary steps every time its desired to only show an image / video, as in, having to close the other tab.
Also it prevents keeping only the image or video open and being able to backtrack to site from there, as the site is now in a different tab.

Window Size (inner width and height): 1920x948

Steps to Reproduce

right click on an image. The view image option is missing. Instead I get a view image in a new tab option.

Expected Behavior

Open an image in the current tab.

Actual Behavior

Firefox opened an image in a new window.
