On some websites I visit, there are links to jpeg and gif files. When I click on them, the browser asks permission to download the image, and when I accept, downloads and displays the image in Preview. What I want to happen instead is for the image to display in a new tab in Firefox and not download at all. I have found how to get the image to display in a new tab, but it still asks first and downloads as well. I just want to view the image in the browser, not download it as well. Is this possible, and if so, how can I accomplish this?
