A long time ago it was possible to tap and hold on an image while browsing images and just download them. Now I only have the option to "share" or "visit site". It is very frustrating because I know in other browsers it is still possible to do it, it's a mozilla limitation, not a google limitation. I'm tired of having to visit sites to download images, especially since some sites require you to create an account to use them.

Hi

If you are referring to the Google Images results page, this is a Google thing.

This can be fixed by installing the Google Search Fixed add-on from the Add-ons option in the Firefox for Android menu.

I hope that this helps.
