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!

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.

  • How can I choose to save a download straight into a sub-folder, rather than just a folder at the top level?

    I have altered my preferences on firefox so that it asks me where I wish to save a file I am downloading, but when it opens the box for me to choose the location, only the top level of files is offered (i.e. documents) and not more specific files that are within that file (i.e. pay slips). How can I access these other levels directly? At the moment, I have to save to the desktop and then transfer to the appropriate file later.
    Thank you.

  • In the sent mailbox how do I change it to show to whom it was sent rather than have it show me who it was sent from as this is always myself?

    In the sent mailbox the headings are Subject - From - Date. I want it to show Subject - To - Date. This would allow me to scan my sent messages for a message I sent to someone. Now it shows From and this of course is my email address which I already knew.

    Can you not change the columns in that window and use Recipient instead of From? There should be a small button at the end of the column headers.

  • How do I change my preferences to save downloads to my desktop, instead of a User's download folder?

    How do I change my preferences to save downloads to my desktop, instead of an internal User's download folder? I have an older Mac Mini & recently upgraded the operating system to 10.5.8.

    I presuming you're using the default Internet Browser, Safari.
    Choose Safari → Preferences
         Alternatively, press Command+, (comma).
    Click the General tab; then click the Save Downloaded Files To pop-up menu and choose Other.
    Navigate to and select the location where you want the files stored and click Select.
    Click the Close button to exit Preferences.

  • TS3276 Having trouble sending jpeg images as attachments in Mac email.....they go thru as images and PC users can't see the SAVE or QUICK LOOK boxes that Mac mail has.  One friend scrolled over the image, right clicked on it and saved as a PNG file.

    Apple Mail isn't going to change the format of any of your attachments. it isn't going to corrupt them either.
    Exchange is a transport protocol and server. The issue you describe is not related to Exchange.
    There are many different versions of Microsoft Outlook in use and they all have e-mail bugs. Different versions have different bugs. Some Apple Mail hack to get around a bug in Outlook 2003 may cause the same message to be problematic in Outlook 2000. Fix them both and another issue will cause trouble in Outlook 2007. You can't fix this. Apple can't fix this. Microsoft can and has but that is irrelevant if your recipients are using older versions.
    One specific problem is that Apple Mail always sends image attachments inline, as images, not as iconized files. You can change this with Attachment Tamer. Just be aware that use of this software will break other things such as Stationery. E-mail is just a disaster. To date, no one outside of Apple has ever implemented the e-mail standards from 1993. Apple has continually changed its e-mail software to be more compatible with the de-facto standards that Netscape and Microsoft have unilaterally defined and people documented as "standards" after the fact. The e-mail messages that Apple Mail sends are 100% correct and do not violate any of the original standards from 1993 or the Microsoft/Netscape modifications. The problem is entirely bugs and limitations in various versions of Outlook.

    Yes, the printer is on, it’s selected in Printer Set-Up & I’ve never had this problem before. It’s definitely a Photoshop issue as every other type of file prints fine. I’ve uninstalled Pshop & am now reinstalling. Hope that will do the trick.

    That should work out, maybe edit it to force updating in the new image.

  • How do you highlight multiple documents rapidly, rather than having to click on the document and on "command" one at a time?

    How do you highlight multiple documents rapidly, rather than having to click on the document and on "command" one at a time? Right now, when I'm trying to highlight documents to export, I have to click on each document individually. Is there a way to highlight one document while scrolling down the list until all desired documents are highlighted? I would like to rapidly be able to do this to save time when I am exporting or saving multiple files from my documents to an external drive, CD-Rom or cloud storage.

  • What if I want to link to an image on an external site, such as Pixentral or Flickr, instead of uploading the image to the Forum server?

    Flickr's Terms of Service  state that if you post an image hosted on Flickr on another site you have to  link back to the image page on Flickr. To do that you  need to go to your image  on Flickr, click on the All Sizes link above the image,  select the size image  you want, then Copy the HTML code from the first box of code underneath the  image. Then, in the Forum's Rich Text Editor, click on  the >> button/icon  and select Insert Raw HTML. This will open a frame  within your message where  you paste the HTML code you copied from the Flickr  site. Then continue on with  composing your forum message and click “Post Message”  to post the message to  the forum system.
    For Pixentral images, you  will need to go to http://www.pixentral.com and upload your image following the  instructions there. You do NOT have to check the box to make images public. Once  your image is uploaded there copy the HTML code from the box below your image.  Then, in the Forum's Rich Text Editor, click on  the >> button/icon and  select Insert Raw HTML. This wil open a frame within your message where you  paste the HTML code you copied from the Pixentral site. Please note that there  is an extra "/" character in the Pixentral URL that will prevent the image from  showing up, so you need to make one change to the HTML that you copied from the  Pixentral site. The beginning of the HTML code  will look something like  this:
    <a href="http:www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=16xx5748rt9fhd"/>
    Please remove the slash that appears between the quotes and the greater  than symbol so that this  part of the HTML code looks like this:
    <a href="http:www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=16xx5748rt9fhd">
    Then continue on with  composing your forum message and click “Post Message” to  post the message to  the forum system.

    @ adobe-admin (J.C.?):
    Thanks for fixing the "backslash" error. Accuracy is important, and doubly so when presented as an F.A.Q.
    The sad thing is how prevalent the usage of "backslash" is when a plain old slash is meant (generally, the "forward" attribute is assumed and unneeded), and by people who should know better. It's a direct result of people knowing just barely enough about the Windows file path naming protocols, and then applying the only terminology they're familiar with incorrectly to URLs.
    I went about 10 rounds—TWICE!—with a labyrinthian succession of people at the Discovery & History cable TV networks because they were saying "backslash" in voice overs whenever their commercials promoted their websites. It took some doing, but I finally got in touch with somebody who was savvy enough to recognize that it was a rookie mistake made by a clueless marketing copywriter. The voice over person just read the copy they were given, oblivious to the difference. It amazes me that it wasn't caught by somebody early in the recording/production process and rectified.
    They then had it correct for about a year, until new commercials started popping up with the same error. Unfortunately, the person I had talked to previously no longer worked for the History channel and I had to go through the process of finding someone who understood all over again.
    Yeah, you can call me a nitpicker with nothing better to do.
    But I've earned that dang badge, and I wear it proudly!

    You use Image Capture (in your Applications Folder) for that job - or upgrade to a later iPhoto.
