Save Image ..why is it missing from Firefox when IE has it ?

Such a fundamental thing to have as the ability to save an image is missing from Firefox and as I have gone over to Firefox from IE I am dumbfounded as to why Mozilla fails to feature this. Why is this ? I have the add on but you get 'save images from current tab', when right clicking on an image that has launched on screen after clicking on a thumbnail, and you end up with hundreds of images, every damn bit of the webpage, the big image is indistinguishable from its thumbnail and every image has to be looked at and discarded until one finds the bigger versions. Who in their right mind would want every little bit of a webpage ? The large images look the same as the thumbnails and each one has to be enlarged to see if its the big image or not. A task that took seconds in IE takes half an hour.

Can we see Firefox catch up with IE6 for image saving ?

So you're saying that you don't have Save Image As... in your context menu when you right-click an image?

Having now tried another website, where images do not have thumbnails, I have 'save image as', though the dropdown window is empty, no options on file type, its those where clicking a thumbnail sees a new window appear, rotating dots then the image occurs. No save image as, only the save image plugin which proceeds to capture everything. Trying IE on this I see also no save image option, so I guess its the website not Firefox. I shall have to use printscreen button I guess. I dont know why the dropdown combobox gives no options of file type, IE6 didnt have much but jpg or bmp was offered.

Sorry, don't even want to venture a guess as to what the problem might be without an example web page of where that happens.
