I recently have been trying to switch from Chrome to Firefox, based upon encouragement from this sub. There have been a few minor bumps along the way.

One interruption arises when I tried to save an image. In chrome I was accustomed to right-clicking on the image and choosing “Save Image As…” But this does not show up as an option for me in the context menu with Firefox.

It’s strange, because web searches trying to solve the problem suggest that it used to appear as a context menu option.

Right now I’m forced to take a multistep option of opening the image in another tab, and then saving it.

Is there some kind of setting I can change, so that I can get the option to right-click and save an image?

Thanks so much.

    If you end up on a website where they’re trying to stop you saving images, there is also the ‘Page Info’ menu with a ‘Media’ tab that allows saving any image loaded by the page.
