> A Firefox extension that adds a context menu item to open images in a new tab.

## Options

- Hold down shift when selecting "_Open image in new tab_" from the context menu to invert the default tab active behaviour.  

  i.e. if "_Switch to image tab immediately_" is set to "_Yes_" then holding shift will load the image tab in the background rather than the foreground.

## Restrictions

- Only works with `http://`, `https://` & `data:` URLs (not `file://`, `ftp://`, etc.)

## Development

Testing unsigned extensions only works with [non-release builds](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Getting_started_with_web-ext#Testing_unsigned_extensions) of Firefox, to develop the extension:

1. Install a [non-release build](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Getting_started_with_web-ext#Testing_unsigned_extensions) (e.g. Firefox Developer Edition)

1. `npm install`

1. `npm run start` to load Firefox Developer Edition with the extension installed. Making changes to the code will automatically reload the extension.

## Release Process

To publish a new version:

1. `npm run validate`

1. Bump the `version` in `src/manifest.json`

1. Commit with the version number as the commit message (e.g. `:bookmark: 1.0.0`) and tag the commit with the version number (e.g. `v1.0.0`)

1. `npm run package` to bundle the extension as a `zip` file

1. Upload the generated `zip` to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/developers/addons
