View Images In Firefox

Firefox Shortcuts & Tips

If you use and work with images and graphics a lot, this tip will

show you how to use

Firefox for image viewing instead of the

default IE

Using IE

for images is a disadvantage because to view multiple

images, you have

to open each image in a new IE window.

By using Firefox for image viewing, you can open your images in

Tabs, and use

Firefox extensions with them.

How to do it

Right click on an image file on your computer (png, jpeg, gif etc)

Select Properties

In the General tab, you’ll see that it says;

Opens with: Internet Explorer

Select “Change”

Select Firefox

Hit ok

Then Apply

That’s it

Finally

Do this for each image file type that you want Firefox to open.

This works for png, jpeg, gif (plus animated gif) on Win XP

(other systems may be

possible but I haven’t tested them yet).

Now that you’ve done this, you can open these images in Tabs

instead of a bunch of

IE windows and use Firefox extensions

with them such as, Colorzilla, Measure It,

Web Developer

Toolbar and more.

To open a folder of images in Tabs, hit Ctrl+a in a folder

containing your images,

then right click and select open and all

of your images will open in multiple Tabs in

Firefox.
