How do I change "save image" to save as jpg or gif rather than an html pointer to the image?
When I try to download images it is saving them as an HTML file instead of the actual image. I want to save images in their native jpg or gif formats as they are on the web. Downloading wallpapers for example is not possible. Without this I'm not going to stick with Firefox which is unfortunate because so far I love everything else about it, especially sync. I tried to download a Buffalo Bills helmet to use as an icon for a Bills fan forum which I wanted a Firefox shortcut for on my homescreen. I had to use the Android browser to do that because of this problem. Ridiculous!

You could always use drag and drop. Drag the image into a folder. That works.
Unfortunately, Firefox for Android works quite differently than desktop Firefox in this regard. On the desktop, if you open about:config and set browser.download.useDownloadDir to false, then you prompted for the save location and file name. On Android, this simply stops Save Image from working.
I was able to access the file by renaming Images.htm to a real file name using the ES File Explorer app. But... if you save images often, that would get old fast.
Note: I think the name Images.htm came from the Google images results page that I was saving from, and the file name will depend on the site. When I saved from a site where the images had their own names, .jpeg was appended instead of .htm.
