EDIT: It’s a problem or webpage design and not an issue with Firefox. My bad.
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.
No idea what you’re talking about. I am using Firefox with Windows 11 and I can right click an image and save as. It’s always been this way and I’ve been using Firefox for over a decade now.
Yeah, I mistook the culprit. Something is screwy with how some websites are displaying images. For example, some Lemmy instances configure the image as a background image.
I’ve just been using Firefox for a day or two and so I jumped to conclusions and assumed it as the fault of the browser.
Sorry.
