Hi,

If I go to a page that has image previews that link to the full size image, I expect "Download Link" on Firefox Android to download that full size image, like how it is in Desktop version, but it doesn't and just downloads that preview image, like how "Save Image As..." works on Desktop. Am I missing something?

I _don't_ mean Google Image Search, In other words I'm talking about a gallery website that has thumbnails and those are links to full size images and instead of opening them one by one and saving, I want to be able to hold my finger on the link and download the image that it leads to, like how Firefox desktop works but it's not happening in the Android version and it downloads the thumbnail instead.

For example, if you go this website: [https://www.myfacehunter.com/2015/04/.../chrissy-teigen-shows-off-legs-for-2015.html] and click on the first image, it opens up [link] but instead what Firefox Android currently does is to download the thumbnail instead which is [https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hsciP7o0JF.../Chrissy-Teigen%2B-2015-White-House-Correspondents-Association-Dinner--01.jpg|this]

I made this post yesterday but didn't get the answer, hope this clears things up.

I'm using the latest version and am on Android 10.

Cheers.
