The "legacy" version could stream the image's binary data a little at a time, since it was able to use the XPCOM interface to access Firefox's functionality.
The WebExtensions version is much more restricted, because it is treated much the same as any web page, and so it has to download the entire image before it can process it.
Out of curiosity, what are your browser's cache settings? I'd hope that the Viewer's request for the image has access to the cache, but maybe not.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18759660, a month agoWorks just like an Exif viewer should! I might wish that I could lock its window position and size rather than having it try and guess for me, but other than that it's great.

- Rated 1 out of 5by 7TOnin, 5 years agoSeems to need accessing private browsing data to work.
Sometimes the file path is too huge in the screen. - Rated 2 out of 5by SweatTechnique, 5 years agoActually - as far as I know - I should be able to open Exif Viewer about "Extras", but unfortunately I can't find this option under "Extras" or any other option in the Firefox browser. Version 70.0.1 (64 Bit). I'm very disappointed. Ansonsten wäre das ein wirklich, wirklich nützliches Tool!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14694902, 6 years agoThis plug in was very, very good until Firefox killed its usefulness to any file on the local hard drive, such as image files received or sent via email, those downloaded from a thumb drive, or those taken and saved on a local hard drive by the computer owner. Firefox in some sort of misguided, perhaps just thoughtless, security move destroyed the ability to use Firefox in a fully functional way as photographers had done previously for many, many years. Too bad for us photographers. But, who cares about us, eh? So, now off to investigate using some other browser that actually might be fully functional for looking at photographs, including my own.
