How to share an image from Firefox like in Chrome?

more options

Hi

In Chrome, when doing an image search in Google, if you click on an image, the image expands and if you perform a long press, a menu appears where you can select "Share" and send the image to any other app, for example Whatsapp. In Firefox when trying to do that, you can not, the maximum that can be done is to share the link of the image.

Is there any way to do in Android Firefox the same thing that Chrome Android does?

Hi @verheiden. I just did a little testing on my Android 7.0 phone (Moto G5), taking snapshots of the screen on my iPad, uploading them to Google Photos, downloading them on my Windows laptop, editing and attaching them... phew. I have Firefox 57.0.1 running on my phone.

As you will see from my snapshots taken of sharing a picture from Google Images, my experience is a bit different from yours. I did exactly the same thing using Chrome on my phone too. In each case, I shared the photo to WhatsApp and sent it to my wife's Windows 8.1 phone (last image).

What I found was with Firefox, it actually sent an image via WhatsApp, which was not in a form that WhatsApp could understand as such, as when it arrived on my Wife's phone it came as "image.bin" and the phone did not know what to do with that, so it could not be viewed. Incidentally, there are far more apps that I can share to listed under Firefox than Chrome, so I did another test and shared it to my Google Photos App, which worked fine and the image was uploaded.

With Chrome, it would not send an image, but a link to the image (the opposite of what you said). Although in WhatsApp on my wife's phone the image is not displayed, I can use the link to display it.

Unfortunately, as you made your post from Windows, I do not know what version of Android you are using, or what version of Firefox on it. I also found a number of posts on different sites from people trying to send photos via WhatsApp. If you can actually do it with your Chrome on Android, then it appears to be working differently to mine (which shows as Chrome 63.0.3239.83).

If you provide some more information, we can see if there is anything we can help with.

Hi @RichardInEngland

Thanks for answering me. I have a OnePlus 5 with Nougat 7.1.1, Firefox 57.0.1 and Chrome 62.0.3202.84, both the latest versions. I always use Chrome on my smartphone, I want to use Firefox, but it seems much better to share images from Chrome, I attach some images of what I mention and the results by sharing them on WhatsApp and Facebook, since Firefox can only send links to the images , Chrome send the images directly.

Hi. Thank you for your update. I just tried sending the same image as before with Chrome and managed to do it successfully this time, so I must have stuffed up somehow when I did it before.

I see exactly what you mean about the functionality, although I am not sure why using Firefox you are sending a link, not the photo itself, whereas from my Firefox it does send the photo (which works to other apps that I have tried, although not WhatsApp for some odd reason).

I think that one of the other contributors who understands more about Android apps might be able to understand better what is going wrong and if there is a solution for it. So I expect they will post here later.

Google may shows different results pages in mobile Firefox than in mobile Chrome. You still should be able to get a long press menu on the viewed image in Firefox with a "Share Image" item after a three seconds or so.
