Save displayed image without re-downloading from source.
I'm trying to save bandwidth, I notice that when I right click on displayed image and select "Save Image", that Firefox re-downloads the image from the source, instead of saving the already displayed image or copying it from the current cache.
How to I get FF to just save the already downloaded image displayed in my browser?
Thanks in advance.
(BTW: I would also love to set cache size, and stop refresh of previous pages! I want exact historical browsing. Backspace (go back one page) Never refreshes/reloads without direct command!)

Thank you for the suggestion. It appears to suffice for a work around to something that should be a core innate default function.
Besides the fact that re-downloading the image may get you the wrong image, not the one you see and selected to be downloaded!
I just don't understand why FF doesn't by default save the image that the user is requesting! They are right clicking on the image and selecting Save, not re-download and save! But "Save Current Displayed Image!". Its simple crap like this that really gets me irritated at the lack of basic common sense! Besides the Trillions of bytes that could be saved daily? weekly? monthly?
I tried this and no tool bar icon was installed. A right click option did appear but I have to save ALL the images in a tab, not just the one I need. How would I remove it (not that I want to right now)?
You need to open the Customize window and drag the button from the Customize palette on a toolbar yourself.
Save Images can be accessed from either the Firefox Tools menu, the context menu (right click in page) or from a button placed on a toolbar (recommended - requires placement by user).
