Can't save any pictures from anywhere
This has happened to me before, but now it's really bad. I can't save ANY photos to my computer. For example, when I right click to save an image, say on Pinterest, and go to save it a file extension doesn't appear. When I click on the drop down menu for file type nothing shows up either.
I followed these suggestions, but no go.

Also, I don't have the option:
network.http.accept.default = text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/webp,*/*;q=0.8 => text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8
in my about:config.
I've cleared the cache and cookies and I had just did a clean install of the most recent update when I re-installed Windows 10. This is very frustrating to me because I save a lot of images from various sources. I'd really appreciate any and all help.
Thank you!

Hi B,
I am sorry to hear you are having issues with saving images.
Are you able to drag and drop pictures?
There is add-on support which might be a workaround you are looking for : Double-click Image Downloader {link}
From what I understand, after enabling the extension you can either :
- Right click any picture and select Download Image to save into your Downloads directory.
- Double Click any picture to save into your Downloads directory.
Let me know if this helps!
network.http.accept.default is no longer present as a pref in Firefox 66+, but defaults to */*
- network.http.accept.default = "*/*"
The image.http.accept pref is still supported, but that only is to inform the website that WebP is supported.
- image.http.accept = image/webp,*/*
Did you try to add the file extension (e.g. .jpg or .png) yourself in the save dialog?
