Can't open images in new tabs.

Using middle mouse or right clicking the image and selecting open in new tab asks if I want to open the image with some program or save the image. If I select firefox and try opening the image with it, the image is downloaded into my temp folder creating a blank download tab and then another tab is created when firefox opens the image from the folder (even the image address is the address of my temp folder and not the image url). I just want to open images in new tabs.

I should note that this does not happen with all images and I can't figure out why it sometimes happens and sometimes it doesn't.

There are a list of options when I right click on an image. Many of the ones you have described are options in the list of this image. Some web pages have links associated with the images that you can click on, therefore the option to only open the image location url is not always consistent.

"Copy image location" and pasting it into a new window is consistent, but adds an extra step. It is also possible to customize shortcuts and make one that behaves the way you want it with Customizable shortcuts add on
