Just found FxIF. It's a basic Firefox plug-in. You just right-click an image and right-click "properties" tab. Link Here (http://ted.mielczarek.org/code/mozilla/fxif/)

Installed it and it works! But, what do you guys prefer?

Search for an EXIF viewer. There are lots to choose from. I use one from Opanda, but there are others here who prefer other brands.

Cool, good tip. I never thought of getting an addon for EXIF.

I have used fxif for ages. It is very good.

+1 for FxIF. Don't know what I'd do without it now that I'm so used to having it.

I'm still on firefox 2.xx because the 3.xx versions crash continuously on this laptop. Can't work out why!

I didn't think to look in that Forum for Firefox extensions, but there isn't an EXIF viewer addon listed either.

I'm still on firefox 2.xx because the 3.xx versions crash continuously on this laptop. Can't work out why!

That's weird... I'm running Vista and it runs fine (which should say something, lol). Maybe try uninstalling FF, restarting, then install 3.xx?

Don't bother. I've got FF on my Vista machine and the entire 3.x series of releases have been signficantly less stable than the 2.x ever were. I've almost stopped using it completely on my Vista machine. It crashes spontaneously, while not doing anything other than viewing a static page, at least once a day. :mad:

AustinRoepke,
FxIF is great in layout and brief Exif info..
However many photos it can't seem to read the Exif data and if you want more detailed Exif info I found that Exif Viewer 1.45 by Alan Raskin <-- click to see (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3905) is much much more detailed.
