Right click, save image as........

[Phil-D]

For some reason I've lost the ability to do the above action, when I right click on the image and click 'save as' nothing happens. A quick Google doesn't come up with anything. I'm on windows 7 and browse on Firefox if it makes a difference.

Can any answers be in an 'idiots guild to', easy to understand form please, cheers

When was the last time you cleared your cache and temp folder?
Have you restarted Firefox? Is Firefox up to date?

So you mean from a web page? It helps to be specific. Doesn't work for all images - depends how they're coded into the page.

It seems to happen if you don't clean things up every now and then.
It would be a good idea to install and run CCleaner to tidy everything up.
