whyEXT Image Quick Save di byrdltd

whyEXT Image Quick Save makes saving images faster: when you hover an image on a website, a small download button appears so you can save it with one click.

What you get

• Hover-to-save button on images (on normal http:// and https:// pages).
• Popup toggle to enable/disable the hover button quickly.
• Options to choose whether Firefox should show the Save As dialog for each download.

How it works

• A lightweight content script adds UI only while you browse pages you visit.
• When you click save, the extension asks Firefox to download the image URL using the Downloads API.

Privacy

• No telemetry, no analytics, and no remote code execution.
• Stores only extension settings needed for functionality (for example: enabled/disabled, Save As preference).

Permissions (why they exist)

• Broad website access (http://*/*, https://*/*) is required so the hover button can appear on the pages where you want to save images.
• Downloads is required to save the image file to your computer.
• Storage is required to remember your settings locally.

Limitations / honest expectations

• Some sites use unusual image loading techniques; if an image URL can’t be downloaded by the browser, saving may fail.
• This extension is meant for normal web pages; restricted/internal pages may not be supported.
