Starting with Firefox 148, which rolls out on Feb. 24, you’ll find a new AI controls section within the desktop browser settings. It provides a single place to block current and future generative AI features in Firefox.

They actually listened to the community, thats very nice.

The "open image in new tab" context menu option, off the top of my head, it has been 1000 small things with them, no 1 outrageous removal, but tons of them that didnt make big impacts yet still annoyed people who used them.

Edit: It was actually "View Image", "Open Image in New Tab" was the alternative that remained. It was removed in v88

Actually now that I checked my Firefox, it's still there? I'm on version 147.

My bad, I misremembered, it was "View Image", "Open Image in New Tab" was what Mozilla claimed was the solution in the bug tracker. It was removed in v88

Since when is "open image" gone for you? Are you sure it's not the site blocking you? Many do that these days, but FF still has the option. There are some addons that can circumvent sites trying to block you (part of the functionality of https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/search_by_image/ for instance)

I partially misremembered, it was "View Image" and I updated the above post with details.
