Dragging images from browser to a folder force-saves them as .bmp, how to fix?

So here's the thing: I'm using the latest Firefox. If I click an image and drag it from the browser page to a directory/file it saves the image as a .bmp, even if it were .jpg or .gif or whatnot.
Right-clicking and saving the images works fine.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling firefox, downgrading to a 25 (newest is 26) and this: https://support.mozilla.org/fi/questions/833095
Didn't fix.
Downgrading to 25 did fix a sign-in issue related to steam store page, it's back now that I upgraded back to 26, but that's not the main issue here.
I have AdBlock Plus and Nicofox as addons, but disabling them didn't help at all.
I noticed this problem after christmas, so roughly a week ago.

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
'''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
*Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Thank you.

  • Dragging images from browser to desktop - don't appear where dropped

    I am not sure it it's a browers' or system weirdness:
    in my view options I have set my desktop to not align icons to grid.
    when I drag an URL from browser to desktop it appears exactly where I've dropped it.
    when trying to do the same with images (dragging from browser onto desktop) they jump/align with other icon/files I already have on my desktop.
    this happens only since I've installed 10.6
    I've tested with different browsers and realized this only happens with firefox and camino...(in safari it works as expected).
    bye,

  • Can't drag image from browser into Artwork panel

    Hey all,
    This is on Snow Leopard, using the latest iTunes and Firefox versions.
    When a file (or group of files) lacks artwork, I often use Google Images, find the appropriate image, drag the image to the desktop, then drag the image from the desktop into the mp3 file's "Artwork" panel when you have "Get Info" opened--and then delete the file on the desktop. There's too many steps.
    Is there however some way to directly drag the image from Firefox directly into iTunes? And if not, is there some other easier way to add artwork?
    Thank you for any tips.

    Jolly Giant wrote:
    you can add artwork by going these routes:
    select them all in iTunes, +get info+, copy the image out of e.g. Safari or Preview, click once into the artwork box and paste the image into it.
    Oh! I like this method. Saves the step of having to place it somewhere on the hard drive and deleting it after. Thank you, Jolly Giant.

  • Can't drag images from preview drawer?

    Can anyone tell me why I can no longer drag an image from the Preview drawer to copy the file to a new location? It was a great way to quickly sort through images in Panther, but now all I get is the white 'not allowed' cursor.

    Yeah, annoying isn't it? What I've been doing to sort things is to empty my Trash. Then I can drag images from the Preview thumbs into the Trash. It allows you to MOVE them from where they were into the Trash this way. After I've gotten all of one category moved out, I open Trash and drag them into a new folder. Then I sort thru the remaining pix using my next category, and so on. It's the only way I've found to use Preview even close to the handy way I used to use it in Panther to quickly sort photos. But I don't much like the dis-improvement. BTW, if I remember, I will sometimes launch the old version of Preview that resides on my Panther drive. It still works. You can see animated gifs with it too (another function missing in action in the new Preview).

    In that huge folder I only need the .xlsb files opened and saved to .xlsx not the others, in case that wasn't clear above.

    Is the computer yours, and are you the Administrator or a user with administrator rights? Are you allowed to install software on the computer?
    Check your "purchased" list. Pages should show there, and if it's not installed it should read "install" next to it.
    Have you tried another mac? You can install the purchased software on another Mac by using your AppleID that you purchased the software with on the first mac.

    Whoa whoa no need to go restoring stuff yet, once you've done that check to verify you have done what Overlook2011  IF that doesn't work for calendars ensure your default account for calendars is set to iCloud and in calendars that it is told to "Show all calendars"

    On your iPad - go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Load Remote Images>On. Try that first.
    You can also try a reset. Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Quit the mail and all other apps. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
