sometimes right clicking on a image provides the option of copying or saving it and sometimes it does not even with the same image. I even saved the page because I could not save the image then when I right clicked again I could save the image. There is no pattern to when I can or can't save the image. Using Firefox 31.0 under MS Windows 7

Those images that didn't show a context menu item for Save Image As... may have had a transparent overlay, which hid the image.

What kind of context menu do you see instead?

You can right-click such an image and use Inspect Element to open the Inspector to see what gets selected instead.
