Firefox image zoom UX (self.firefox)

Am I the only idiot who keeps doing this?

Looking at a random image in Firefox
Click the hamburger menu > Zoom [+] a few times
Click off the menu
Zoom level snaps back to 100%

Of course, the problem is that when I "click off the menu", I'm clicking on the image, because it fills most of the screen. If I do the exact same thing in Chrome, the zoom level does not change.

If "revert zoom on click" is considered a sensible design choice, then clicking again ought to revert to the zoom level I just chose.

For mine, I had it set up to do diagonal swipes, down-right for zoom in, up-left to zoom out, down-left to reset. Just hold right click and complete the gesture. It worked individually for any image and also for whole pages. The addon was discontinued after firefox moved to the new format.
