Reverse Image Search for Firefox

Every now and then, while surfing the web, you come across an image that makes you want to reverse search it. Perhaps you want to find a higher quality version, or are just looking for similar stills: it's never bad to have a reverse image search tool at your disposal, because you never know when you might need it.

By that token, Reverse Image Search for Firefox is an aptly-named tool. It comes in the form of a Firefox add-on, which makes it easy to set up and get started with, allowing users to immediately reverse search any photo they see on the web.

As with most reverse image search tools, the primary way through which users can look up a photo is via the context menu: simply hover over the still, right-click it, and the Reverse Image Search option should appear near the bottom of that menu. If you haven't set anything up, Google Image Search will be the default provider.

Setting things up only involves checking the relevant boxes for the providers of your choosing. Head into the Options menu, and you'll be able to select more providers: IQDB, TinEye, Bing, Yandex are some of the available ones, among others.

In the Settings menu, users can choose to modify the add-on's behavior when reverse searching an image: you can have the extension open the new page in the background, or open it to the left or right of the current tab. You may also choose for the search page to open at the end of the toolbar.

Moreover, users can add custom providers: simply click Add Provider, and you'll be able to insert the relevant name and URL to use when looking up an image.

Reverse Image Search for Firefox is a handy tool: it's easy to set up and use, and it makes the process of looking up a photo surprisingly comfortable.
