I used to be able to press Alt, left click and save but that no longer seems to be the case with firefox 13, why has it been disabled?

It was a great way to selectively and quickly save images rather than right click, click save as, have the save dialog appear and then eventually have the file saved.

Ah, never mind I found that the update had disabled the altleft click save, I looked in about:config to see if there was anything and saw that there was a variable browser.altClickSave which was set to false.

I set it back to true and it start working again.
