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 !

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.

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.
