Frire fox wont save ?

Anyone else just updated their Firefox and when you right click on an image to save it. All that happens is the wee hour glass icon shows up, but the save window does not ???

I just updated FF yesterday and save image works fine, problem must be on your end.

Mod edit: over size image removed.

So could I for a while then it stopped till I restated my pc and It worked again. Now its downing the same thing and this right after their automatic update...

By the way that pop up window opens, its after you hit "save image as" that the save window doesn't open.

Thanks

You have to have Firefox set up to allow imagebam to use pop up windows.

Tools

Options

Content

then either uncheck "block pop up windows" or add imagebam as an exception

You may take a look here:

if you enter in google search bar "the save as window doesn't open for firefox" you'll get some pages to take a look.

I do hope that there you'll find a solution for your problem

This probably will be too easy, but you never know (during one of the previous updates I saw that some settings were no longer the same and after I changed the setting in tools / options all worked again like a charm)
when you open tools / options and you click on the tab "general", is the box ticked where I put a red circle?

I've tried saving form other sites to check its not just one site at fault.
Though after my last post I had a break and turned my PC off. Now its back on its working OK? Its like on start up this seem to be the problem.
