What if 'view page source' dared to open the source in the same window? At least provide 'view image in other window' (or tab) menu items!

Middle-clicking the "View image" menu item opens it in a new tab.

Hmmm... lo and behold it does. But how does this stand with 'Open link in new tab' 'Open link in new window' items. The user is mislead with a non uniform interface...

Chromium has "Open Image in New Tab"...

You can use the middle-mouse button or modifier keys most places in Firefox where a page will be loaded. ie. * middle-click to load in a new tab * CTRL/Command (+ shift) + click to load in a new tab * Shift-click for a new window.

0. Thanks. I only knew a few of them. 1. They ought to check that page with styles off: Back AltOpt+Scroll DownShift+Scroll Down Forward AltOpt+Scroll up Shift+Scroll up... 2. One hates when one middle clicks on javascript links. They do nothing. 3. They ought to mention which ones are 'browser independent' (widely implemented.) 4. Yes we can try middle clicking inside menus. Of course as with any experiment, don't do it on a valuable half filled out HTML form...
