Maybe. Please post the exact url you found out. Thanks.
Go to http://www.neowin.net/ then on the left side, below the neowin logo are a bunch of forum links hove the link for a bit then click. I sometimes get the dialog box and sometimes not when clicking the same link.

Confirmed. It depends on bug 232385. Thanks anyway.

Sorry for bumping old thread.
I'm not the origianl poster here. I named the extension after thie topic title. While ago, I noticed that there's very the same name plugin for IE. It seems that sbc(OP) did know the plugin, but I didn't. My bad. Then I can't send this extension to update.mozilla.org. All extensions are thrid party applications, but those on update.mozilla.org are semi-official. And I don't mean to trouble u.m.o with these naming details.
So will anyone suggest a new name for this extension?
If you don't know match about this extension, please follow the link rather than read all the post ins this thread.

Hmm, this extensin extends "Link Properties" in "Element Properties" dialog, though it looks like Page Info dialog...

I leaned towards File Info since it does more than just provide the file size which also lends itself towards adding additional properties if you ever extend the extension. If you see the main function as providing file size without extending functionality in the future then I would go with Show File Size or View File Size.

Could someone tell me please where I can get this for 1.0PR? I've tried 3 or 4 versions of this so far and none work. They "install", but the extension is not listed in the extensions list. Another version I tried said it wouldn't work with 1.0PR. I'm desperately hoping this will give the right click an image and get it's dimensions and file size like IE does.
Thanks.
Thanks.
God Bless,

You can right click the image and select properties to get the dimensions and file size for images as long as they aren't background images... IE is also not able to get this info for background images.Clint1 wrote:Could someone tell me please where I can get this for 1.0PR? I've tried 3 or 4 versions of this so far and none work.

*edited to add* You can also select View background image to view it in a new tab / window to get this info in the same manner afterwards for background images
