Before I downloaded mozilla firefox I was able to save any picture to my windows photo gallery. Now it saves in other files. I can not get them my gallery. Why? How do I fix it?

Actually you cannot save images from facebook/pinterest by any browser just by right clicking on it. First click on that picture and it will open in new page and now right click on the picture and it will have a save image option and now your file will be jpeg. Please try it and let me know.

Thank you for your patience.

After following your directions on choosing a different download folder, I have the ability to send to windows photo gallery. I will not complete and the message states "file format is not supported"?
