I want an add-on that opens images in whatever program I choose
You know how when you're looking at a folder in Windows Explorer, you right click on an image filetype and there's an "open with" option where you can select what program with which to open/view/edit that image?
Is there an add-on for FireFox that allows me to do the same thing?
For example, I go to http://icanhascheezburger.com I see an image I like and want to save, but I want to open it in IrfanView to edit it before I save it. So in Firefox, I right click on the image and I get the "open with" menu a if I right clicked ob the same file after saving it

One add-on that can do that is Launchy - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/launchy/
Though the description states it lets you open links and mailto's with external applications, you can also configure it so that when you right-click on an image you get the option to open the image in your chosen application. For details on setting up Launchy see http://gemal.dk/mozilla/launchy.html

Be aware that Firefox may save such an image as read-only in the %temp% folder if it is passed to an external program and in such a case you need the use Save as to save the image under a different name (that is recommended anyway to prevent dataloss).
Exactly what I wanted! Much thanx!
