Can not save images from Google Images, by holding down on the image, and then tapping save image. The menu simply does not pop-up. Holding down on the image results in selection of the image description below. Sometimes you can not save it form the website either, but that is because of website configuration and you can not save it on other browsers, but on other browsers you can save from Google Images by holding down on an image, so it is only the issue of Firefox and not the Google Images website. This issue seems to be present for over 2 years based on online feedback, and it is still not fixed.

Chosen solution

It is due to Google not providing the full Google Search experience to other web browsers. As you mention, the add-on has its own drawbacks and these would impact more people if the same approach was taken in Firefox for Android.

Hi

Have you tried installing the Google Search Fixer add-on from the add-ons option in the Firefox for Android menu? This should help resolve this issue.

Yes, I am using it, but it has its own draw backs. My point is, if an add-on can fix this issue why can't Firefox themselves do it? Is it because of legal reasons?
