in firefox 4 I don't have the option to save picture as when right clicking on a picture in facebook. my friends say they do. why can't I ?
I have windows xp and just started using firefox I am very pleased with firefox but in ie I always pick up pictures from family and friends on facebook. in ie all I do is right click on the picture and choose save picture as but in firefox I don't have that option when I right click on a photo. My friends that use firefox say they do. what should I do to fix this? also when I upgraded to firefox 4 I no longer get a list of friends in farmville and other games in order to send gifts. I have to use ie to get pictures and if I want to give something in games.

It is a Facebook problem - since they have changed over to the slide show view of photos you cant save them.
Easy answer, open a photo as normal, when the photo appears in the black slideshow, click the refresh button on the toolbar at the top of FF - the photos revert back to the old FB style of showing the photos - then right click and 'save image option is there ...

thanks, clicking the refresh button while viewing a photo in FB works. I can save the picture. awesome! so do you think not getting the friends list in FB is also a FB issue?
Not sure about the friends list I'm afraid .... probably another FB problem !
Mine show up fine ...
I also have this problem but on e-bay. I routinely "save pictures as" from e-bay. The solutions that are offered here do not satisfy my problem. Can anyone help me?
Thanks.
You can try if you can find the images in "Tools > Page Info > Media" and save them there.
My gosh, friend this is so awesome..I just tried it and it works.. how did you figure this out btw? So I have another problem.. in FFox when someone sends me an email with an photo in the email and I try to right click it is saved as a Firefox doc and not as a photo and I can't open it..any suggestions? I right click on the photo the picture library opens but on the photo line it's a Firefox document..???
If someone's friends list does not show up, it could be that they have blocked people from seeing the list. My brother did this to me, but I could see everybody else's friends list. I guess he was jealous I would 'steal' his girlfriends away from him. So, it could be their privacy or account settings causing this. If it is this way with EVERYBODY'S profile, then I'd say it's a FB problem.
I found that if I allow third party cookies I get the friends list just fine in FaceBook games.... solved my problem. Thanks to everyone for helping.
